walbro grinding
searched around a bit found 2 on here with no answer and links to the same two on google, anyway my walbro is making a growling/grinding noise. At half tank or just under it makes the most noise while braking, around 1/4 tank (which it doesn't see often) its a constant growl even during priming.

Re: walbro grinding
Return it for a new one. I assume you are familiar with the normal priming noise that is louder than a stock pump but if it sounds like grinding then something's wrong. Even quality components have bad units that get out. If you're sure it's installed correctly then give them a call.

Re: walbro grinding
its an in tank, i pulled it yesterday took a look at it nothing seems physically wrong with it i changed the sock and it still didnt go away. Yeah i know the normal priming noise, and it sounds normal with a full tank just at around half tank it starts acting up. No problem with fuel delivery tho, just makes me nervous ill see what they have to say tho.

Or depending how the pump is mount you have the pump touching a tank baffel or basket.
