Default Help with FP

Hey guys, my pump just went out aroun 3 weeks ago and i replaced it with a walbro 255. When i was in there i seen at the connection were it looked like it got hot and melted the conector just alittle. I cleaned it all up and installed the walbro unit but now not even 500 miles later my car wont start.

I started it one morning to let the wife out the drive way pulled it back to the house and let it idle for like 10 mins warming up while i was inside getting everything ready to head into work. Came back out killed the car to lock the door and after that it wouldnt start and im not getting any pressure to the rails nor can i hear it priming. I have the trap door mod so i opened it up to find my fuel line i used for the FP swap was cut from the hose clamp. Any suggestion to what i need to check or do you think the pump is toast?

Did you do the Hotwire kit? Remember that burned wiring the Walbro draws alot more amps than the stock pump and will fry it alot faster.

Upgraded wiring to feed the new pump better voltage and a stronger relay.
