Walbro Install Help

[qwigybo]

hey guys half way through installing walbro pump

have original assembly out currently stuck pulling the assembly apart see image how do I do this and get the fuel lines off undamaged

[xrdreaming]

The fuel lines usually break and you need to buy new ones, either originals or use fuel hose designed to be in tank. I don't think you will be able to re use them.

gates submersable is the go with that stuff

[rboksic]

You can try using a heat gun or hot water on the fuel line to soften it up a little.

to pull the pump apart takes some force and you need to clearence the lock tabs.

[qwigybo]

got clearance on the 2 side lock tabs, is that all there is.

felt still wasn't too sure so didn't want to pull on it

[qwigybo]

got the 2 sections apart just stuck on the hoses

[qwigybo]

finally got the 2 sections apart and the hoses off

how do I secure the new pump or doesn't it matter as it sits inside the pot ?

[qwigybo]

finally got the pump finished and back together at 4:30

note to anyone else going to do this it's harder than it sounds

also buy new submersible fuel line beforehand would've made it 100x easier

took the car for a test run, seems alright off boost

but seems to be flooding it's anus off above 2500rpm I'm guessing this would be normal for an un-edited T ?

If it feels like you are losing power , you may have a fuel leak at the hoses connected to the pump or the housing.

you would not get a power increase as the fuel reg still lets go at the same point,

all that the new pump is doing is holding the pressure to the fuel reg and not dropping off like the std one does.
