Need exchange fuel pump for IO550

[Amelia]

File this under “NOW what???” After 10 months, my bright shiny nsewly field-overhauled engine is ready to fly. Now is when we find that the fuel pump is inop. Not but 230 hours on it, still new looking, so the mechanic didn’t send it out. Said it should be good for a long time. Works fine with boost pump, but nothing, engine-driven. New ones are $5000-ish. And several weeks out. Probably just a dried-out seal, right? $0.25? So what are my options? Salvage? Ohhh help! Anybody got an extra to unload?

A new fuel pump is really $5,000? WOW There are rebuilders for these I would imagine. Different engine but I think I used a company called Aero Acccessories. But I think there are several companies out there with that name. Let us know how it works out.
