Hey guys,

The aeromotive 340l/ph fuel pump is a mirror image of the walbro 255l/ph. What that means is the pulls (+/-) are reversed. If you're going to install this you will need to swap the pins on the fuel pump jumper harness so it goes to the wiring harness in the proper polarity.

After speaking with them, an addendum to the instruction manual will now be added. The mold is set, so the pump will stay that way.

Thanks guys! After we saw this we immediately put it up to save everyone else a headache! We'll keep an eye out if we see any other issues.

They are idiots for copying the basic design of the Walbro and then reversing the wires. You do not have to reverse them on all EVO's either....
