Will replacing the impeller on my Mag18 fix it?

I have a Mag18 which will not restart on its own without spinning the impeller a bit.

Will replacing the impeller fix this? It has several rough rings on the magnet.
 
try soaking it in viniger for about one hour and fill the impeller hole on the pump with viniger to and then sand or skrape all cal. off and see if that works before you buy a impeller
 
I have a great little mod that make mag drives start everytime. Soak it first and i will expalin the rest later. i have to go out but will post soon. It is easy but hard to describe in words. get a medium rubber band and scissors.

The problem your having is that the little rubber end piece that fits into the impeller cover has dried and shrunk over time. It used to hold the impeller in place. I fix that by stretching a piece of the rubber band over the end then, placing back into the impeller cover. You might have to use a little force to get it in. Be careful you don't want to break the shaft. cut off the excess. put the impeller cover back on. make sure the it doesn't get pulled apart when you put it back in. this should suspend the impeller making it start everytime. I hope this fixes your problem.
