Who do you turn to ?

I'm often surprised at what I find on Amazon that I didn't expect to see there. When the fuel pump failed on the Onan Marquis 7KW generator on our previous coach, the cheapest source I could find under the Onan part number was about $250. After cleaning off the old pump, I found a Carter part number under the Onan paint, and searching on that number, I found the identical pump, except for the color of course, on Amazon for about $65. It even came with a bunch of extra hardware, since it was meant for a new installation.

I'm not surprised, I was restoring a 1976 Honda Goldwing and the local Honda dealer wanted something like $80 each for cam belts (it needed 2 belts). I did some research and learned that the Goldwing was built in the US and used Gates belts. With that knowledge I purchased the belts through Napa Auto Parts for $15 each. It seems that dealers, no matter what it is, are very proud of "their" parts.
