Walbro 340 Replacement Experience Yet

[TurboMonte 2]

Was wondering if anyone yet had good/bad experience with the modified Walbro 340 (F....169) made available January this year (furnished initially as warrantied replacements for defective ones turned in...).

I have one of the warrantied/replacement ones & am understandably concerned about keeping/using it as a viable spare--should I need to replace my current FP...

 

[TurboMonte 2]

Anybody?

I got one of the advertised replacements

from Full Throttle. According to Mike, it is the designated stock replacement. Fits and works fine.

Fits and works fine.

How long have you had it installed? Months? Miles?

 

[turbopete]

Not that many miles

Maybe just a few hundred miles and 3 months.

i bought one in june of 2009 f169 and I blew a headgasket at 14psi in December. I'm not saying the pump was the ploblem but I am installing a new 340 jjust to be safe.

I have two new Racetronix pumps in mine and will not hold pressure when primed, I am thinking that maybe the compression fitting for double pumper is leaking?One thing for sure is I am getting tired of dropping the tank everytimeExternal pump coming soon I think , But need a trans first though

Thanks Mike, that's the best "revised Walbro 340 pump" experience I could expect. Thanks again for carrying our torch to Walbro to make this revision "happen" & promptly handling my older F...169 (340 pump) replacement.
