installing walbro help?

hey i got the pump and everything out of the gas tank and i am trying to reinstall the walbro into the factory location. the only thing is i cant figure out how to rewedge it in there since it is smaller than the factory one. i have pitures but i dont know how to show them so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Im not sure exactly where you're stuck in the process but there should be a black piece of plastic you wedge into the top of the case(?) for the fuel pump and fit the new one into that.

Mine came w/ a new rubber isolator and long enough hose for the top that you should be able to get it snug enough to work. If not, just use a plastic tie to zip it to the bar behind the pump. Either way it should stay...
