Classic...gets a fat vacation, all expenses paid, and then throws a fuel pump in on co. time..unbelieveable, i wanna job there too. 20 minutes isnt bad @ all I thought it would be a longer proj. BTW good to have ya back.

LOL thanks!



Yea it's a pretty easy install all in all. Just removed the whole assembly, cleaned it off first, then took it out, carefully cleaned all around and cleaned up the whole assy and installed the new Wahlbro, real quick like. No I think I am going to wash it before I go home



Today was swamped here. Starting the morning with coffee instead of a beer was a shock to the system. Still having trouble dealing with all the blood in my alcohol system.

I got my Walbro for $105 Shipping included Call 919-759-0210 or email epracing@nc.rr.com for more info.....

I am a freak about soddering all my connections and the connections are different than stock. Had to come up with a way to insulate the intank wire splice. Solution:

1. Offset your + and - connections.

2. I used gas tank leak Epoxy repair to Isulate the sodder connections

Umm if you buy the installation kit, which rotormotorsports sent me it hooks right up to the stock connections...
