Fuel Pump Failure

[DLWilliams]

The fuel pump failed on my Acrosport on the way to Smizo's yesterday. Carbed O-360. Thank goodness for boost pumps and gravity feed, both which saved my bacon I think. At least I think the tank would gravity feed to some level anyway.

Replacements - Aircraft Spruce has Tempest overhauled and new. New is $40 more than OH and I'd like to go new. At least I "think" they're new, says "New Lycoming Diaphragm Fuel Pump under the Tempest listing. Any opinions on Tempest vs. OEM from Lycoming?

Thanks!
