I have had good success in rebuilding (actually just cleaning) the
pump. A typical failure mode is that the holes on the bottom of the
reservoir cover get clogged and the pump spends a few years sitting
in water getting rusty. It is not difficult to completely
disassemble the pump/motor assembly and clean everything up. You have
to carefully unbend the little tabs that keep it together. Use light
sandpaper to remove the rust from everything. Pay special attention
to the motor brush holders and commutator surfaces (don't scratch
them up). Lubricate lightly and put it all back together. I bet it
will be good as new.
While you are at it, drill a few more drain holes in the bottom of the cover.
