right i changed my fuel pump today all seemed to go well but i have a few questions then a few concerns can anybody help

1. the original fuel pump was almost double the size of the walbro item is this right?

2.is it also right that they cable tie the original pump inplace as mine was?

and my concerns

a couple of hours after fitting it now seems to just die as in power i will be pootling along at around 2k revs and bang no power i have to let off the accelerator for a second for it to come back on? also does it occasionally when im pulling away at juctions very dangerous!

any help or advice would be appriceiated

only mods i have until 2mo is the uprated pump and a dump valve

Point 1 is right mate the std pump is massive compared to the walbro! but shouldn't be cable tied in, sounds like its been out before!

Check Your fittings on the pump mate pos the cables\pump are coming loose in the tank. Or you haven't done the clips up tight. Check that if not then pos pump is faultly did you clip the fliter bag on the pump??

I put a cable tie on the new pump to help secure it. I've heard stories that the walbro's new filter bag aren't so good, but mine's been fine.

yer i clipped the bag onto the filter but il give it all a check over 2mo

just on a side note i intalled my boost gauge today taking it of the brown sender unit on the left hand side of the engine bay if one of the pipes has come loose could this cause problems?

That could well be it, i blew the hose off this unit a while back, car wouldn't make boost. Worth checking.
