Looking for a good used RAM/FTE 750 fuel pump. The terminal just broke off mine...

I know they're available new, but not looking to dump that much into this age of engine.

thanks,

You can try replacing the motor yourself. Its a bit difficult getting the pump gear off the motor shaft and back on though.

well, just fixed it using a jewelers loop number 58 drill bit and micro soldering.

seems really really strong and meters correctly so we'll see. still looking.for used parts as this is a low time 750 plus

Do you mean something like this?

That's different than the one I've got, but essentially correct. Different fittings, etc. What did that come off of?

I actually developed a pretty good method of repair and validated the pump works again, however thinking I will need a spare.

Any other manufacture pump can work. soldering on that small piece of connector could break off during flight causing a flameout. I did the same repair on the starting motor and every so often it would break off unless you remove the brush assembly and solder from there.

Good luck

It was a spare for my old modelbaum / ram 750 plus, the on on the airplane was the same

Soldering to the connector without much to grab onto was my single biggest concern. So, I used a jeweler's loop, x-acto knife and number 58 drill bit to dig down into the insulator carefully, exposing about 1/16th an inch of tab and drill a hole through the conductor tab. I then flowed solder through the tab and re-soldered the wire in. When assembled, it pulled very strong. I then heat-shrinked the power cable to the can of the motor, making a strain relief loop.

Usually, I would try such a repair and still just replace, but am feeeling quite confident in this one.

1ricardo - will send you a PM.

Yup. Ya' know, you never really leave, I think.

Actually bought JR's old Discovery jet from him last summer and am re-habing it. Not it bad shape at all and very tidy installation.

Just easing back into the hobby as my kids still have priority; one going into high school and one not far away from it, so still not a lot of time. Hoping to fly at the Houston fly-in in 2 weeks.

Going to see you there David?

Yes sir im planning on being there. Lets see if we can get Jr out there
