as fitted on the spitfire 4.0
anyone know of a replacement for this pump something like an Interpump which I can buy from Dual Pumps.
or anyone know the price of this pump from Hydramaster

Mike why do you need a replacement pump?
Wouldn't a re-seal do the job?
Did mine recently, it's quite simple.

Goron,
How simple?
where did you get the seals from? & how long did it take.
stripping out a pump head is probably the only job I've never done, so I'm a little unsure about attempting it

Hi Mike
You can get the seals from hydramaster they are on their site
www.hydramaster.co.uk
Hydra Pump - Hi Temp. Seal Kit
They are expensive for what they are though.
The job took me about an hour altogether and i took the pump completely off the machine as the oil seals needed replacing as well and i wanted to clean out the cranckcase. You shouldn't need to change the valves. I do have instructions for it, if you like i can email them to you but tried to email you earlier and the address you've got on here doesn't work!
let me know.
Cheers Goron

guess not then

sorry Goron, I decided as I was going to just buy a replacement pump I'd strip down the pump head, it was a piece of cake. ordered some new seal from Hydramaster this morning,
but as I was driving betreen jobs I saw a pressure washer sales & service centre so I called in and he had some seals so I bought them,
replaced mine and the pump still did'nt build up any pressure :'( :'(
this afternoon Hydramaster rang me and left a message on my ansamachine that a new pump would cost £240 +vat so I will ring them tomorrow and order a new pump.
this machine is a neglegted machine that has been in a warehouse for yonks, it has suffered some severe frost damage, so far its had a new supply pump, new fuel pump and tomorrow it will have a new water pump. when I've finished it will be like new :) :)
And then it will be for sale to the highest bidder!!

£240 is a very good price. didn't you get any pressure whatsoever?
Cheers Goron
-
none ???
the water just sprinkled out and the pressure guage read zero, I've fitted a another pump so i could check it was the pump causing the problem and everything worked fine, so it must be a faulty pump

The last time I purchased a pump from ashbys for my portable it cost me almost that much :o and only lasted 6 months >:(
Cant believe how cheap a new pump for your Petrol TM is :D
Will it be a difficult job to fit it?
Amazed

4 bolts and change over the pully wheel :)
remember a T/m pump is just a pump not a pump & drive motor as used by a portable.
