I agree.

Between the abysmal pump screen placement and small inlet opening and the flaky fuel pump performance this seems to be a "too" common occurance with the new returnless fuel pumps.

Several folks have adapted a normal Walboro fuel pump to fit in the stock sending unit.


2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
