Warning about fake Walbro fuel pumps

10-08-2010, 12:56 PM

The chinese are selling copies of Walbro pumps, be careful what you buy.

How to spot a fake walbro:
When you pull the endcap of the pump where the filter goes, inside you will either see metal gears, or some plastic inside.
Metal gearing= GENUINE
Plastic=FAKE.
Ask the company if it has plastic or metal gears (send it back if its plastic).
