Certainly if it runs that's a step in the right direction.

If it doesn't run, then sometimes they can be made to run if you tap the side 
of the motor repeatedly while it is powered up. This may eventually work around 
the dirt & corrosion that has collected under the brushes. Do this with fluid 
in the pump.

If it runs but doesn't build pressure, sometimes the overpressure valve is 
stuck open. I have been known to just seal off that third outlet to get around 
that problem.
