Yes, I have haha, so I am already on the hunt for a block to start a build. Thanks though.

Any ideas? That's a brand new wal 255? Do those just go bad? I grounded it properly so now 80 for a tow. I know what I'm doing today

Look for a leak, clogged fuel filter, faulty fuel pressure regulator. Did you buy the walbro install kit or did you just rig it up? The fuel line inside the tank has to be rated for fuel or the rubber will decompose causing a leak. If the sock on the pump is clogged.......

Thanks, I think I used a ****ty hose, I bought the kit and I just saw the hose in the kit, damn it, should have known better. My fuel filter only has a 1100 miles on it. Thanks again, be tearing this apart tomorrow.
