Also is it worthwhile doing the pump while its easy to get at, or should my na one be just fine

I'd be a bit suspicious of an unknown brand off ebay at a cheap price. You never know what you're getting, probably a pond pump or something.

Have a look @ the fuel pump thread :

I'm sure these are being sold on ebay motors by a company (they say that they rpodue them, so i suppose if they put their name to it, must have some credibility)

I don't think i'm going to upgade the pump, but i think if i was to do it at a later stage, might aswell pay the extra ?40 and get a walbro,

I didn`t notice until now that i also bought similar product.
This one:

Now the hedline text clearly states WALBRO but i see now that these are not. So i`m actually not sure what i`m getting or the quality. I might have paid more for a genuine walbro had i noticed this was not, but that`s the way it is and hopefully it`s good.

It`s a bit of a risk though.

Yeah. I sent him a question about this. It clearly states walbro in the headline so he really does sales on false grounds. He should NOT say walbro on the text. However, this might be a great pump, i don`t know, and i`ll go over there cracking heads if it`s not! Oops, acting up again, i should know that i`ll just get my ass kicked anyway:( Maby if i bring something to hit him with, say a fuel pump at the back of the head. Now where to get a fuel pump, oh yes, in the mail. Not a walbro but it will do.

I`ll tell you how it it when i get it.

He answered fast that guy with this:
"Shorty, these are our proprietory pumps, which outflows a GSS-series Walbro pump. Let me know if I can help with any other questions."

So it is NOT a walbro but seems to be a good pump. Atleast that`s what he says. Strange way of doing business and strange that noone has mantioned this in feedbacks as it`s not really freud but selling under the impression that it is a walbro pump.

Here`s a photo of the pump. It`s insanely small and i`m now wondering if this can be right? It`s a lot smaller than a NA mk1 pump??

I've just bought one of these -

Came in 2 days and it's stamped Walbro on the side, came packaged a tad
funny, not boxed, just wrpped in spongey stuff but looks brand new.

Not too bad a price, ?10 cheaper than some of the others on there and good
service.
