everyone replying is recommending a bigger motor at a lower speed. I am looking at the evogreen 2.25 hp (service factor 1) motor to replace a 1 hp jandy flopro service factor 1.65) that does not prime my system well. I was told that if I go with the larger motor I also need change the impellor to benefit from the motor at max rpms (ie when priming) Is this the case and can you put a bigger impellor in a jandy flopro 1 horse
Last what seals and other parts should be replaced when changing both parts
 
Basically yes. Bigger motor + larger impeller. Key being to ensure they ar eall compatable together and mate correctly to the wet end. If so, then yes, a new seal kit (seal plate, shaft seal, etc) as well.

Perhaps @1poolman1 might have a quick reference for this upgrade?
