I just blew the 2nd Walbro pump in my car in two years. thats shittay I pay about $10 a month just to use this crap. Hopefully the new one I overnited from Japan holds up better. Guess when you put down such huge numbers this is the kind of shit that happens :End of rant and (edit: poor attempt at)sarcasm. :rant: :rant: ---

I’ve had no problems with my walbro and I have more power than he does, these pumps burn up if you don’t keep them cooled by leaving fuel in the tank ---

> [@ZEXaccord](#): > > I hear a lot of bad shit on honda-tech about them. What do you expect for $100 what do you expect for 100 bucks then? dont make a thread about a 100 product that sucks so bad if you know its gonna fail, then bitch about it breaking. you obviously keep using them so that doesnt say a whole lot about yourself in the ol’ smarts department. like “oh hey i keep burning these up, i guess ill get another one, and another one…” switch to a holly or a bosch and see if that works out better. me personally i have never had a issue with one ever and i have had 3 in 3 diffrent cars and they all were sold with the car in perfect working condition. i just sold one actually i had laying around for 70 bucks. you should have picked that one up 😉 not trying to be a dick but your thread doesnt make sense to me haha. you said they suck but you keep buying them, then say your not expecting alot from them but bitch when they fail… im confused ---

Unfortunately WALBRO(NOT WALBORO) are the only ones that will fit in my car Frank thats why I can only use them. And yes, Walbro is made by Holley. If you search the internet there are A LOT of people complaining of only getting a year from them. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/walbro-fuel-pumps-suck/183346.md?page=2)
