Be careful when ordering on Amazon. There have been fake products sold through them. Some people claim to have gotten fakes occasionally from Amazon directly, but when something is sold through a third party seller on Amazon marketplace, there is a greater chance of it. There was a rash of fake EOTech holographic weapon sights for firearms that were coming from Amazon which were obvious Chinese knock offs of the real deal. These are around $600 each, and the clones are only worth about $100 or so. People were not happy.

If you look on Walbro's own website there is a big *** disclaimer right across the page for the 255 pumps that there is a high number of counterfeits out there and to buy it from an authorized dealer due to the risk. I would buy it from someplace like Summit or Jegs or TanksInc or from Walbro direct, they have an online store. Amazon, even though they do crack down on bad sellers with fake ****, is probably your highest odds of getting screwed outside of Ebay.

I've had two Walbros that I have no reason to suspect are fake. Both were very loud. I have since swapped one of them out for a DW200 pump, which is virtually silent.
