Yes. Stop flapping man. It's higher flow and the motor is stronger.

Just a thought but have you bought a genuine pump as there are loads of copy pumps doing the rounds .
A copy may not suppliy enough fuel causing the engine to run lean then it's goodnight engine if this happens, hopefully you've bought from a genuine supplier

As Dave said, there are a lot of copies but genuine ones are cheap enough, around £80 if you look in the right places
