OK neighbour is 'upset'. Trouble was foot valve(pump was cycling on-off a lot..), we FOUND the well, he replaces the foot valve( 80'down, 40' water),turns pump back on, prime, purge, can't get more than 30#s and it shuts off. had been 40#s for years.... Replaces the deep well jet pump, SAME problem not enough pressure, adjusts 'flow ? ' nut ?? whatever you call it, no NO water, even after priming, etc.

 Any words of wisdom ??
Hints for happiness ??

Foot valve should not cause cycling unless the foot valve is leaking, that sounds like a waterlogged pressure tank. There  may be a leak in one of the pipes going down to the foot valve that has gotten worse. Checking for that means pulling the foot valve out of the well. Put the diverter valve back to its original position and try again. The diverter valve controls how much water is sent back down to the foot valve/jet package to bring up more water. A submersible pump eliminates this one variable. A defective pressure switch could cause the pump to cut off at too low a pressure.  It takes looking at the system as a whole to determine what isn’t working properly.
