I have a feeling you’re talking about a higher pitched noise. Walbro’s make noise, but nothing too loud. I wouldn’t be surprised if maybe the bushings in the motor are bad, causing it to make a squealing/squeaking noise. ---

I wouldn’t be surprised if maybe the bushings in the motor are bad, causing it to make a squealing/squeaking noise. That is probably the sound.The pump is only like three months old if that though.That sucks. ---

The walbro I had in my S13 wasn’t much louder than stock, and I could hardly hear it when it was priming. Pretty quiet I thought. The bushings are probably just making some chatter. Do you run the car low of fuel often? ---
