Wanted 150hp Ficht fuel pump

[Dhf]

As per title really, mine seems to have a leak, after getting the engine serviced the other day the mechanic noticed slight surging with the engine running on muffs, so he stoped the engine to investigate, and found a slight leak coming from the fuel pump, so air was being drawn through whilst running causing slight surging. Leaking out only seemed to accure with engine turned off, and whilst applying pressure to the prim bulb. I've been told the pump is non repairable?
I've been quoted £300 + vat for this part, plus I need a throttle sensor which is 80 +
So whats my best option here, try and find second hand, with no telling how long that would last, or just bite the bullet and give my credit card a thump.
Any cheaper options advice much appreciated. ( And I don't mean " You should've bought a ?" )
Cheers
Paul.

Paul, do you have the part numbers of the parts you need, these models chopped and changed quite a bit.

I'll get in touch with the mech right now, he said he'd email the details just not received yet, I'll try calling him know.
Cheers

I've you're lucky yours will match the engine Ribshop are breaking. I have a 135, which shared the part with theirs.

According to the engine mod no;E150FPLSNF.
The fuel pump is 5004428
Throttle pos sensor 5001793

From what I can gather its the same model in some other hp's

[Ribshop]

We still have the fuel pump but it is coming up as part number 5000885

May be worth looking on ebay US. There should be plenty of used FICHT parts around, as they had a tendency to blow their powerheads.

No probs thank you for looking.
I've ordered brand new now, great deal from South coast marine. highly recommended I must say.

My nxt question is, will I need the mechanic with his diagnostic kit to set up, or is it a straight forward swop over jobby.
Cheers

Yeah I checked all that, and after considering the used prices with postage I thought there would be no telling how used those items actually are.

Apparently the internal body of these things are prone to corrosion after ten years, which fits the age of my engine, so should be good for another decade.
