Suction Side Air Leaks

[MrMarty51]

Have a remanned unit on its way.
Well, at least put in for it this morning.
I am hoping it will make it here by Friday anyhow, give me Saturday to get the truck together and the pump tested out.
I do think that it would be wise to order in one of those new pumps just to have it on the shelf.

I sent an email to QST about if there is any warrantee on those new DS4 pumps and waiting for a reply.
See how that goes before I make the decision over the new or the Flight Systems remanned pump.
The price of the reman units makes it mighty tempting to go that route, but then, if the reman units does the same as this reman unit and I have to wait for a replacement then there would be no time left to make it to Ohio and to the function over there that I would like to attend, and, My brothers childhood friend has to be back to his home by the 29th of June to pick up his daughter at the Billings air terminal.

I went with the AC Delco reman off Amazon for $794 with shipping. Last I looked they were $1,100 and now I can no longer find them.

Flight Systems is $875.00 then a $225.00 refundable fee with shipping label.
Come to $1100.00 but be able to retrieve the 225.
I do believe that before this pump arrives that I will get one of those new pumps on the way.
Seems I just need that security blanket.

That’s a good price. What is Flight System’s reputation on reman pumps? I have two cores in the garage and probably should send at least one in for a reman.

IDK.
Sold through QS Tuning.
Dorman bought out the PMD portion of the business but IDK about the pump remanufacturing side.
At least the PMDs are USA made.
I would think if FS is rebuilding pumps then they would also do those in house to keep on top of QC.
I guess I’ll be the guinea pig and give it the first test flight.
