Should I worry about my Walbro?

[Boostedstr8six]

I installed it about a year ago and haven't had any problems with it. It's the standard gss341. I'm only worried because of how I installed it. See the thousand word pic.


I did realize what I was doing and did some "testing". It seemed like it would take a pretty major impact to dislodge the pump from it's "footing" and even then the output line seemed like it would be able to hold the pump in place fairly well.

Maybe I'm just looking for something to worry about since I haven't had any engine issues for a year and a half. :ugh:

Besides the lack of shrink-tubing, that looks very similar to how I installed mine.

Shrink tubing = Why?

Thanks for the reassurance though.

Boosted: I put a rubber sleeve around mine and then a hose clamp to hold it to the leg.

Ehh...just a little extra protection around the connectors.....if I were to do it again I would solder them and Zip-tie the pump to the leg, but I haven't had any problems. Just like to be more on the safe side.

Cool. Yeah, I guess just it's just one of those "coulda-shoulda" deals. I worry about everything I touch and expect the worst(and I'm still alive ). Blame it on the USAF+my brain. :beer:

I did mine with soldering and shrink tubing as well. I also zip tyed mine to the frame to hold it in place. Works great so far!
