Warning to those with Walbro 255's
 

Hey guys, i wrote up a thread about 3 days ago about how i was having a boost problem, turns out that it was my fuel pump. It wasnt the pump itself, oh no, it was the grommet (a little S*itty rubber piece on top of the pump) that cracked in half. So im just informing you guys, that if you ever have a weird vaccum problem, or your car idles oddly, check that little piece whenever you have a chance.

PS: sorry if this is a repost, i just dont want anyone to waste money on a new pump to find out thats not the problem.

I just bought mine too, hopefully I don't have the same problem.

thanks for the input.

little f**king gromets will give you all kinds of grief...sorry to hear about that, thanks for the heads up

wonder if you just got one with a dried out crappy grommet. There are a million walbros out there.... probably just bad luck man...

i remember reading that u were leaning out at start up real bad and people were considering u needed a reflash, glad to hear it was just a grommet and u got the problem fixed!

good 2 know

thanks for the info!

Woo thanks for the warning {thumbup}

thnx for the info

did you put any oil on the grommet or something that might have ate the rubber?

thanks for the input

i think i used the stock ones.

Yea you found out the hard way that grommets need to be replaced.
