Hey,

anyone know where to find a replacement pump for an eliminator 1000watt fog machine? My pump gave up the ghost I've taken it apart and can see where the tiny spring has broke but I can't dig out the cap. Even if I could not sure how great a repair it would be. If I could locate a replacement pump this fog machine would be back in business!

edit:

heres the site I used Lite F/X Fogger Pump Repair ? Modd3d - when I took mine apart i could see how the tiny spring is broken but i can't get the cap out - in addition, my elbow is plastic not brass. Seems everyone is cutting corners.

If the missing cap is not blocking anything, just see if you can't make another out of some small plastic or metal rod. All the cap is doing is retaining an O-ring that seals the pump body and allows the plunger to move the fluid into the heater.

ah ha! I see what you mean - the oring had slid over the shaft! thats why i couldn't find it! ..... d'oh! thx Otaku - I'll give it a shot even though that oring is probably no good.
