Can I trust walbro???

Post by **chillmieste** » Sat Aug 30, 2003 4:20 am

Im buying a fuel pump soon and I was wondering is walbro worth it for the price? A lot of people tell me that u get what you pay for. Anyone who has used these pumps on their sr20, are they worth it?

Thanks,

Charlie

Everybody uses walbro pumps. If you buy a holley pump it is stamped wallbro on the other side. They work perfectly. I've had 3 cars the the 255 pump and i've never had any trouble.

Thanks, I just needed a opinion form someone who actually used these pumps.

Have had a Walbro in my car for a good year and a half now and never gave me a problem.

Walbro is a massive company, so dont worry about it. They know whats up with fuel delivery.

I bet every small engine you will come across will have a walbro carb on it. When I see a non walbro carb I look at it like its retarded (not related but still a good example). Theres a reason for that though, and its because they are on thier game and are a reliable company with reliable products.

But like everything else mass produced, occasionally one will go bad or die prematurely. If that happens to you dont bash walbro as it happens with every product all the time. Just send it back for a new one

I wish computer parts were as reliable.

A little sidestep to the topic... how hard are they to install?

Post by **RobDET** » Sat Aug 30, 2003 4:20 am

they are cake to install assuming all your nuts aren't rusty

just don't say anything about the rusty nuts thing ok!
