Found out this weekend my Meziere water pump works intermittently. Anyone buy a kit and rebuild it yourself or have one rebuilt by Meziere?

The last time I called Meziere, they told me I had to sent it in for repairs. They did not sell kits or repair parts.

Bummer, I may just take it apart myself and see what's up. It may only need cleaning as it's been sitting dry for quite some time.

Sent mine back good as new, $150. Re-sealed it, new brushes & re-ground the armiture. They have a quick turn around a well.

Are you suer its the pump and not a wire, connector, or switch issue ? I have found there pumps to be very reliable and would be surprised an intermittent problem would be with the motor itself.

Yeah, I'm sure, it worked initially then quit, tapped it with a small hammer and it started again. Did this several times. I'm thinking the brushes are gummed up and the armature is probably dirty.

I just took one apart that was 13 years old. Brushes looked good and was in generally good shape. There not to hard to take apart and maybe you can get away with a general cleaning yourself.

When you go to put it together again get yourself a couple of paper clips. There are small holes in the brush boxes and if you straighten out a couple of small paper clips you can push the brush back in the box and insert the clip thru the small holes. This holds them back making it easier to get on the armature. After you get it started slid the paper clips out. I did mine at the track between time trials in the car trailer and cleaned everything up with electrical contact cleaner. 3 years ago and still working great.

I took mine apart but couldn't find a replacement seal. I sent it in about a year ago $100.
