Bob,
I simply walked in with the pump and handed it to the guy behind the
counter. He looked at it for a few seconds and pronounced it a MF pump. He
told me to go have lunch and be back in an hour. I did, he had rebuilt the
pump and charged me $20.
It never occurred to me to ask him how he knew or what model or any other
info.
I just did a Google search and parts seem to be available in many parts of
the country.
