    Another Failed Walbro

    2,000 miles if that, and my pump failed. (No more Walbro Growl)

    Correct me if i am wrong, aren't there a few others having them fail?

    What a PITA!

    aeromotive makes a 340LPH replacement for the walbro in their stealth line, IIRC. a lot more fuel flow from a well known performance name.

    I really can't complain about the walbro pumps, I've run them for years and they're still going strong. I always make sure I have a genuine walbro before installing it. The pumps that are going belly up these days have been around a while. Let's see how long the new aeromotive 340s last since they're new on the market. I've also run the Bosch pumps and never have had one fail. GM pumps are all I've had fail so far.
