Dukes Fuel pump overhaul

[dcrogers11]

Can anyone suggest a place to have my Dukes fuel pump overhauled or exchanged?  It has started sounding a bit rough and during my startup this morning, it sounded like it wanted to stop all together. It still engaged and brought the pressure up, but it just doesn't sound right to me.  I haven't contacted my A&P yet to schedule the work and was just trying to stay ahead of any problems.  

In my 64C, the fuel pump has always sounded louder than other planes I have flown over the years but today, it sounded really rough.  

Thanks,

Don

Do not bother to overhaul.  Put in a new Weldon pump per the Mooney retrofit kit number.  Better pump and it is new.

I agree with John.  Ours is a C&J overhaul and it was about 900$.   6 month warranty, maybe 1 year. If I had to do it over again, I would do a new Weldon for less and no plastic impeller.  Peter Lyons had his Dukes pump IRAN repaired for less,  search for that.

I second John's recommendation. Went this route when my pump started leaking last year. It'll cost more, but you'll end up with a better pump.

When I was having mine installed, there was another fellow at the MSC who was having his Dukes pump replaced after just overhauling it a year earlier. He wasn't a happy camper.
