ok so i got my long awaited 255 today, pulled the old one out and installed the new one, i noticed as i was installing the to was backwards, the plug was on the inside and the fuel line was on the outside, 180 of the stock, so i said on whatever and installed it anyways since it said it was for my car, put it in started the car, ran fine but as soon as i got in to the drive off it was leaning out real bad and no getting fuel, pulled the pump out to double check everything and it was hot as hell, i couldnt even hold the pump with my bare hands, so is this a defective pump or what?

 

I wonder if you got one of those fake chinese walboros. could be

pretty fucked up if you ask me, where did you buy your pump from? I just got mine from these guys.

 

got it off ebay, which im regreting now, it screamed too, but it says walbro right on the case...

 

Just buy a real walbro , sometimes its better to spend that lil extra money to make sure you feel good about what you put into your ride.
