I've gone through three walbro pumps in less than two years. The las one I made sure the pump sat at the bottom of the tank and I never let the fuel get lower than 1/4. Is there a pump that last.G

If you went through 3 pumps in under 2 years, something else is wrong.

Bad connections, voltage problems & undersized wiring can cause pump failures as well.

Are you using a new fuel sock with the new pumps?

I've used hundreds of Walbro pumps & have yet to have a pump failure.

I'm not saying failures are not possible, but usually there is a reason, & with 3 failures, I would be looking for the cause.

Also remember that Ebay has some counterfeit pumps out there, so beware of what you are buying.

pumps came from summit racing. They were the granitalle ones. I used new socks and I have a hot wire kit. I have a KB boost pump on this one. The part number on them was F2000169 if that helps. I did the install just like the sticky above.
