Post by: gwrightson on June 01, 2006, 09:40:53 pm

got a quote today for a pump :'£900 PLUS VAT   just managed to pick myself up of the floor ;)
 as infact it looks just like the electric motor that disfunctional. i got a price for the motor £500 plus
 this is for a 300psi pump for the raptor, same as the clean edge i beleive.
 does any body know of a more reasonable price,? or an alternative pump .

If it is the motor it may be possible to have it rewound. I would have it diagnosed first rather than waste money and find it still doesn't work.
Have a look in Yellow Pages under Electrical Motor Repairs.

Also have you checked the motor brushes. If these are worn down a new set may be all thats required.

I am going to take the motor in on monday to try and find what the problem is :-X
the problem origonaly when it sounded a little rough ;D, I must admit i dint take a great deal of notice at first, when your hearing it all the time you dont seem to notice it much.
 However i thought it strange that i kept tripping custysfuse iwhilst i was working, pumping ok then suddenly would trip. I put it down to sensitive trip ::)
 after about an hour suddenly no pressure and a smell of burning from pump, although the motor was tmaking a noise and trying to work, too late damadge already done i guess.
