Re: low fuel problem

improperly installed walbro........

My civic, I've ran it low enough that I put 11.7 gallons in a 11.9 tank, never any sputtering.

Re: low fuel problem

what could be installed wrong? i put the new rubber mount in w/ it... the only thing i did i can think of is re-used the factory sock...

lol normal to who? ive run walbros in both my turbo cars and i ran them down to the point of running out of gas entirely ( as in waay past the empty mark) and up until that they always ran fine. Make sure your pump is all the way down on the mount and you didnt bend it

I could swore I've read about it getting louder or not getting enough fuel below 1/4 tank. That heresay (or however the ---- it's spelled) though. Saying such and such say, etc. is gay as ---- ( after reading this post and thinking about it). This is my last heresay post.
