It's probably unlikely that they will sell parts for any equipment related
to fuel handling, due to liability issues, but ya never know.

Gasboy may not have manufactured the motor (probably not), although that
doesn't make the quest any easier.
Finding an identical motor, or even individual parts, will most likely be a
matter of luck.

Several years ago I spent extra dollars to get the best fuel pump that
I could find; a hi-flow Gasboy for pumping fuel into the airplane. *I
was not happy when it failed last Sunday.


I opened it up and all the wires were melted.


The local fuel equipment dealer offered to look at it.


I drove there (40 miles) and he started in on it. *His tools were
terrible but he got it apart. *It appears that the main motor armature
is bad. *Bad for me that Gasboy closed their doors in January and no
spare parts are to be found. *I searched on line and no one that I
could find has parts.


It is irritating that a well built expensive pump would fail within a
couple of years of light use. *Then added insult that it is not
servicable.


I need an armature and brush assembly. *Can anyone help?- Hide quoted text -

Find a local company that rebuilds and rewinds motors. If you're
lucky they may be able to identify it and order you a replacement.
Alternatively they might give you a quote to rewind (re-build) it. If
you're very patient and determined, you might do it yourself.
