Brand New Racetronix Hotwire Kit and A Toasted Pump Well i installed the racetronix hotwire kit on my car a couple days ago and now the pump is burned up. Any ideas what could've happened? When i dropped the tank there was already a walbro 255 in there, but i still replaced it with the new one. The only thing was it didn't have a bucket in there when i got to it, so i just installed it with out one could this have caused it? I followed the directions to the t.

only reason i didn't put it back is cause the new sock wouldn't fit on the bucket. I have seen many f-bods install the pump without it ! I guess I will research a bit more.

should've checked there first instead of dropping the tank first.

it would be much easier if u did the trap door . When I put my pump in the wiring on the top of bucket was screwed up so I had to pull the fp ...it took less than five minutes to do ! Highly recommend it !

On the fuel bucket subject I had a Holly 255 (very same thing as a Walbro/made w/ the same parts) that went out only after a year of sporatic driving. It did not have the bucket installed.
The bucket is to keep the pump submerged regardless of the level of fuel in the tank.
