My walbro is going out ( I think... ). Its starting to make a super high pitch whine all the time now and just sounds like its getting ready to die. I read on the miata forum that the walbros they have been using dont usually last more than a year, and are known to whine really loud right before they fail. Well, since one of the last things I want is a fuel pump failure, I decided Id just replace it anyways. Now...My questions are,


Is it true walbros dont last much longer than a year ( thats about how much time is on this one... )?

and

If it is true, what other pump should I use and where should I get it?

 

I've had mines for like 4 years with no problems.&nbsp I knew a friend who had his die at 3 years.&nbsp 1 year seems kinda low to me.&nbsp To verify the fuel pump is dying, get a fuel pressure gauge and check the output of the fuel pump?&nbsp It could be the fuel pump is shifting on the bracket making more whining noise?

Ill check that out.
Thanks for the reply.

 

ps. I do have an extra walbro 255 that I got off of ebay for 100 bucks plus shipping. This thing hasn't been used cause I found out I have the fuel pump off of rx7.com however when this one comes in I will sell for 90 bucks shipped. Just let me know.
