I think I know what is happening.

The mod you did to your impeller was the one where you superglue the impeller to the shaft so it does'nt have 180 degrees of movement. If so, thats the reason.

You see the reason that play is allowed on the impeller, is due to the low amount of torque the magdrive has. So the shaft/motor is allowed to speed up a bit before it meets the resistance of the ipeller/water.

Now that you have glued it together you have negated some engineers brilliant solution to a design problem.

Buy a replacement impeller/shaft and ur problem should go away.
