That is what mine looks like?

Dude, even a counterfeit Rolex looks good from 5 feet away.

I am simply suggesting everyone get their fuel pumps from reputable sellers who buy direct from Walbro (like Summit) who stand behind their sales.

Amazon and eBay are a risky proposition.

I can respect that. I had asked the seller if it was a genuine Walbro but they did not answer until after purchase. The spirit of this build is budget minded, so we will see in time how they fair.

While getting the motor mounts out, found some ugly factory weld (with wire still stuck there?):

Decided to try and fill it in better (not pretty):
