My fuel pump is LOUD. What can I do to make it quiet?

[tmbg]

my walbro is in the stock cage mounted with worm clamps. It's loud as hell, but I don't have the sound mats laid back down yet.

if you want it the most quiet, you could unplug it :wink:

found something interesting with the fuel pump noise tonight. When the headlights are on, the sound disappears.......any input on this?

[Steve88t]

You have bigger issues going on. Starting problems, noises that go away when the headlights are on, blah blah....

Make a list of problems, then map them out on a wiring diagram and see if there are any common paths.

no more probs with starting

heaqdlights on = voltage drop = slower pump = quiet ?

Could be, check voltage. Has the tank run dry? That can hurt the pumps.

I picked it up used so this could be the case
