wcb Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 SOLD SOLD NOW $85 I have installed twin G5's and thus eliminated the need for a vacuum system. This system was working when removed. As you can see the filter is basically brand new with very few hours and installed 02/2018. Pump hoses gauge filter (in other words everything that was removed) It maybe worth rebuilding or use as is until it need rebuilding.

No takers so far soooo how about $85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtVandelay Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Must be over priced. No takers so far soooo how about $85 They only last about 500-700 hours, so you probably should list the hours it has on it. From the looks of it, probably has a lot of hours, by comparison I sold mine for $50 with 80 hours and it looked new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are currently in for annual and will have the vacuum pump, which was placed in service in 2007, replaced. It's been in service for 1135 hours, so maybe it's on borrowed time?

I went through my logs, there was 1 time it lasted less than 100 hours, another where it lasted a 1000, but most were in the 600-800 range. I’ve been told serious IFR pilots change them out, just magneto inspections...every 500 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think I'm a "serious IFR pilot", but my backup for a vacuum pump failure is a Precise Flight standby vacuum system and a sTec60-2 autopilot that will maintain steady flight and coordinated decent without a vacuum source.

wcb Posted August 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Great info. Yes I think it is most likely over 500 hours (I really have no idea). I will check the log books when I get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
