Inliners International Forums General Discussion Electrical Walbro/AC-type electric fuel pumps

Does anyone know a source of repair parts for the Walbro, AC type electric fuel pumps? Years ago, I think I could buy kits from Western Auto and local auto parts stores. I found an outfit, in Texas, called APE, Inc, who are supposed to have these kits. However, they do not respond to e-mails, or phone calls.

A couple of friends and I have dug up 10 of the 12V pumps with bad bellows, and/or valves. The motors and points are all in perfect shape, but the bellows have turned to much and the valves in most of them are warped.

That's MUSH, not MUCH!

You might check with a NAPA store they still sell walbro pumps. I'm sure it would be a special order but might be a possibility. Also Walbro makes many of the small carbs and fuel pumps for small engines so a small engine parts house might be able to help you. Don't know just thinking out loud.
Good Luck

I don't know if it will help, but Walbro's corporate web site is here: http://69.16.165.8/

Yeah, I know, it didn't look right to me either, but it worked when I tried it.

There is a search feature in 'Service & Aftermarket' (in the blue toolbar under the logo then select it again from the list on the new window). I couldn't find it on the site, but if you have a part number for the pump it should get you something. If nothing else they should be able to tell you who carries those parts.

Dear Dennis;

It may be faster/cheaper/better to buy a 'modern' elecrtic pump with a guarantee etc.

This is NOT an item you need to fail (ever).

Holly & Stewart Warner have adustable pressure, I think.

Good luck.

Thanks, men......I found an outfit "V E Peterson" in Ohio, who sells repair parts for these pumps. They're not available through the company. I've had one since '79, on a number of different vehicles, and it's only recently failed me. The motor and points are in like-new condition and all it needs is a bellows. Another one needs both a bellows and valve repair kit. Both kits are a total of $14. One of these fuel pumps new are $90-$105.

I like the idea of having something that's actually repairable, in this throw-away world of today!

This site also has repair parts as well as newer rotary pumps.
