Over the course of the last year or so, it seems to me that I am seeing more and more failures of Walbro fuel pumps being reported. This is based on the numerous posts I've read on the various bulletin boards I frequent:
-F-Body.com
-fbody.com
-Project TransAM
-CamaroZ28.com
-TheFormulaSource
Obviously, if there are large numbers of Walbro pumps being installed, there will be some failures. Hopefully, with a survey, we can get some idea of the failure rate, and whether it is unreasonable.
I almost hesitate to do this. In the past I picked up a problem with the Aeroquip adjustable fuel pressure regulator. Aeroquip went to CZ28.com and condemned me for it, claiming I had no right to point out these problems because I was a "moderator". Not sure what the logic was, but they basically blamed me for the problem, although the first responded by offering a free replacement to anyone who wanted one, and eventually admitted they had materials of construction failures for a large number of units produced over a period of more than a year.
I've already had a run in in the past with one of the popular Walbro dealers, who tried to have me thrown off ProjectTransAM..... so here we go again.
