From what I understand, the clutch mechanism needs to be replaced. You can see them at mbpumps.com.
When I asked the owner if just replacing the clutch was a good idea (save a few bucks), he said that was the cheap fix since there are another 2 sets of bearing in the motor itself, so you might as well get a rebuilt pump where all the bearings have been done.

Glenmore,
I have the same sound, I think. It lasts for a few minutes at start. Sometimes there is no sound. Do you have the same?
