Quieting an air pump
I know air pumps naturally make some noise, but it sounds like a bearing in mine is turning totally dry (description of the noise, not sure the problem if there is one). Are these serviceable at all? I know it says no oiling, but would it help to?

You can take them apart,but really it is a pain in the ***.Stupid internal design.
Just get another one from somebody that eliminated their pump from the engine..they are dirt cheap!

You haven't seen the inside of one,have ya???..lol!
The thing has 3 vanes that actuated by centrifugal force.
The vanes are most likely rubbing corrosion on the inside of the Pump..hence the noise.
Really IF the pump has been operational,then it should be clean inside and run half decently.
