You're pretty much at or beyond the limits of it. Why not just replace it? Its like $85.

More like beyond the limits! Go to a dyno and see where your a/f ratios are and that may just prompt you to get a real pump and stop playing around with your investment.

I bought a Walbro as part of my swap. That stock pump is bad news man.

i blew my first ca18 by only using a stock fuel pump from a ka24e. with the t28 so and so forth, i leaned out and blew it. this time around i have picked up a walboro to make sure everything is safe. once you mess up once you make sure it won't happen again

the thing of the matter is that i had a walbro and it got lost / stolen kinda angered me to say the least, maybe ill just have to buy a new one, im kinda afraid to see what my air fuels are under boost ....
