<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4> They
say that "pulsator" (which I permanently removed in favor of a straight piece of
hose when I swapped-in the Walbro) is supposed to dampen noise and
vibration. I went for the FLOW; a little bit of noise-- like
Rhoades-Lifter ticking-- is a mild turn-on! Unfortunately, my new assembly
makes just a bare buzz now and you really have to <EM>listen</EM> for it!
Once the engine starts, it's all drowned out.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4> Your
pulsator may be in or out, but if you're getting serious noise, one of your
metal fuel lines may have shaken (or corroded) LOOSE or you fuel-sock-filter is
butted-up against the bottom baffle of the Tank just enough to bounce that sheet
metal into a CYMBAL-like noisemaker.</FONT></DIV>

Anything else sounds like it could only be a bearing or trapped-debris problem
within the pump itself, in which case better line up a hot-spare now when you
have the leisure of shopping for a good deal. I (still) recommend
EBay....</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> While you're talking about fuel
pumps... I changed to a walbro 225 some time ago and had to drop the tank 3
additional times that day to see if I could find why the pump was so loud. I
gave up. Runs great but noisy. Any thoughts?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks, Ron</FONT></DIV>
