Default Walbro very loud, video inside

Here's the deal....my car had ~2.5-3.0 gallons in it. Whenever I would get on it and the front would lift, it would cut out and backfire. So I figured it was low on gas....went to the gas station, filled up, and now it runs fine. However, my fuel pump has gotten louder
The car still pulls hard up top, so I'm not sure if this is a big deal or what...

my walbro 255lp did the same thing... know what it is?? it was the damn pump sucking in the filter bag!!! those walbro's pull so hard that it sucks a small part of the bag up and causes it to make a noise.. you wont hear it as loud when the tank is full because it muffles the noise..

when we took it out.. we experimented with it, to put it in a bucket of gas, hooked power to it to try and duplicate what was going on... we tried it with the bag off.. then off... quiet with it off.. noisey and sucked in the filter bag with it on...

dont know what to tell you... do you really need all that fuel??

I didn't install the sock/bucket because it has a built-in screen in the pump (Racetronix).
I guess I'll just put a gauge on it and see what happens.
