It ships as an assembly with its gaskets, which matters more than it sounds: vacuum is a sealed system, and a motor mounted on a reused or pinched gasket pulls air through that gap instead of through your hose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConfirm your machine's build year before ordering. Electrical components are final sale.\u003c\/strong\u003e That policy covers vacuum motors, pumps, and heaters, which means this is not a part to order on a guess.

Restricted airflow is one of the quickest ways to shorten the life of a new motor, and a filter costs a fraction of what you are installing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eWhat Makes it Great:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🎯 \u003cstrong\u003eThe Correct Part, Not the Bigger One:\u003c\/strong\u003e Specified by Mytee for 2017-and-newer Tempo Spotters. Fitment on these machines is determined by build year, not by picking the higher stage count.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔘 \u003cstrong\u003eGaskets Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Comes as a complete assembly with sealing gaskets, so you are not reusing a compressed one and wondering why recovery feels weak afterward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e❄️ \u003cstrong\u003eBypass Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cooling air is routed separately from the recovery stream, so the motor is not breathing the wet, dirty air it is pulling off the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔌 \u003cstrong\u003e115V Direct Replacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Genuine Mytee assembly, so the mount, gasket seat, and electrical connections land where the machine expects them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I confirm my machine is 2017 or newer?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck the serial plate on the unit, which carries the build information. The more direct method, if the machine is already open, is to read the part number printed on the motor you are removing. If it says A318 you are in the right place. If it says C316 you have a pre-2017 machine and need that part instead. Given that electrical components are final sale, take the extra two minutes to verify rather than ordering from memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is this single-stage when the older motor was two-stage? Is that a downgrade?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, and this trips people up. Stage count is not a quality rating, it is a design choice about how a motor builds suction, and the machine is engineered around a specific motor rather than around a number. Mytee redesigned these units and specified this motor for them. A motor with more stages is not better on a machine that was not built for it, and in some cases it will not physically mount. Match the part to the machine, not to the bigger spec.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I fit the C316 instead if I want more water lift?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo not try it. The C316 is specified for pre-2017 machines and Mytee superseded it for a reason. Even where a motor physically mounts, mismatching a motor to a machine's airflow design and electrical specification can leave you with worse recovery than you started with, a motor running outside its intended load, or a part that will not seat at all. On a final-sale electrical component, that experiment is not refundable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I have to use the included gaskets?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, and use the new ones rather than the old. Gaskets take a permanent set once they have been compressed and heat-cycled, so a reused gasket no longer seals evenly even when it looks intact. Since vacuum is a closed system, a small leak at the motor-to-tank joint bleeds suction from the entire machine, and it presents as a unit that feels weak after a repair rather than as an obvious failure. Seat them clean, seat them flat, and do not over-tighten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSales are final. What should I verify before ordering?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour things. The build year of your machine, from the serial plate. The part number on the motor coming out, if you can read it. That the problem is genuinely the motor and not the switch, the cord, or a clogged filter, since a machine that will not power on at all is usually not a motor fault. And that the motor is actually failed rather than starved, because a restricted hose or packed filter makes a healthy motor feel dead. If any of those are uncertain, call us before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mytee Parts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67896584077608,"sku":"MY-A318","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/3589\/2776\/files\/mytee-a318-mytee-tempo-vacuum-motor-assembly.jpg?v=1792010471","url":"https:\/\/snsautosupply.com\/products\/mytee-a318-vacuum-motor","provider":"SNS Auto Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
