Problem:
Apparently the oil pump worm drive has gone on my 2009 Ryobi RCS-4450C 50cm Petrol Chainsaw as I didn't use the chainsaw for a few months and the cha in oil thickened.
A chainsaw expert friend found the fault and the part at
(apparently the RCS-4450C is the same as the RCS4046 for that kind of spare ).

This is the correct part, but is now obsolete and not available.
They told me to call TTI on 01628 894400 (opt 2 opt 1)
They called me back and said that it had been replaced by 5131000546
But Ryobispares says this turns out to be a primer pump.
Apparently Ryobi and Homelite are the same company, but if I go to the Home lite website, if points me to

Can't see a match there, either.

In the likely event they can't help either tomorrow, what's my next move be fore trying to find a second hand identical mode on ebay to strip, without even knowing whether it'll work either?
Any other supplier suggestions? I'm drawing a blank.
