Where does one go to get an IO-550
fuel pump overhauled or exchanged?
My hangar-mate has a Cirrus SR-22
with the IO-550N engine. The mechanic could not set fuel flow, and
declared the fuel pump a problem. He contacted Superior (Australian office) and after taking the order,
they could not find it, and now have no idea whether or not they can get a
fuel pump. Now Superior suggests going elsewhere without providing any
suggestions. I suspect the Thielert/Superior bankruptcy has something to
do with this.
So now the question is: where does
one go to get an exchange fuel pump for an IO-550N without waiting
months? Any suggestions or recommendations would be most welcome.
