Impeller Question

[PFisher]

I have a pump that died. I am not too sure how long it was stopped before I got to it, but when I took it apart it was quite hot. The impeller was stuck, I managed to get it out without too much force and noticed that a plastic piece on the impeller ws broken and it had a definate wobble when spun.

My question is this, is the pump still likely to be good? I don't want to buy a new impeller for a dead pump and then have to buy a new pump anyway. Is there a way to verify if the pump is still good without the impeller?

Thanks for your help.
