AlexLev Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 I ended up buying a new unit from Aircraft Accessories (Weldon 8164A) when mine hit the crapper. It was $1,150 which hurt and I had it overnighted. Part of it was that I had a trip planned and didn't want the downtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I installed my Weldon in 1997. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They charge more than twice as much to convert your broken piece of shite to a newly overhauled piece of shite. Given how "important" the pump is, I'll take the robustly upgraded Aeromotors unit over the wheezy, iffy, 1-5hour run time between overhauls any day. I'll give Aeromoters a pass on this as an anomaly with the suspicion that there there may be more to the story. For a detailed understanding of how Aeromotors has improved the existing Dukes unit, see my write up after spending almost a half hour discussing the pump with Ole, the owner of the company and the individual that developed the FAA approved upgrades. My newly overhauled pump is demonstrably more powerful than it's ever been. I have had to shorten my prime times accordingly and have noted that it boosts pressure to red line in flight and on the ground (would never happen with previous overhauls). An Aeromotors pump is an excellent upgrade to any lawn mower! Edited March 23, 2019 by Shadrach 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the time comes again I will consider Aeromotors for now the CJ one I bought was brand new from their line and so far so good.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
