Default bubble king skimmer parts?

where would a guy go to get some replacement parts for the red dragon pump. mine seems to be operating strangly, i feel as though the shaft sleeves (aka bearings) may be a little loose causing it to pulsate and eventually shut off... when i apply a litttle bit of pressure to the needle wheel it runs fine.

Have you tried cleaning the rear bearing yet? If that doesn't fix the issue contact proline aquatics, someone there will help you out.

J & L can get parts for you, as I had to replace my pump for my Bubble King Mini last year. It was doing exactly the same thing as you described.

Prolineaquatics.com

They are the distributor, so they should be able to get you any part you need. Most of the LFS that have vertex stuff probably deal with them too so you could start there.
