Hi Guys,
I did this a few weeks back.
Just for those who may be interested in swapping to the 255 Walbro and can't find any info on it.

Welcome Joe...if it helps someone out...great!
To date...no issues with it. I've run to just less than 1/4 tank without problem.
Actually...when I first put it in....it started and ran with about 2 gallons of fuel in the tank.

Man, you document things like a champ! Good werk.

i know this thread is old but i have done this modification aswell. and i recommend it over a complete sending unit replacement even for stock vehicles.

its actually quite easy, mines been running trouble free for a year, and the pump is not noisy IMO.

I used the GS342 Walbro and put a fitting in port to hook that line up to keep the bucket filled. I also re-used the accordian pressure line out, it fits over the pump outlet quite tightly, i then used a small clamp to retain it.

Nice work.
I have the old Wahlbro that needs the bucket altered and
I've got to be careful taking corners with >1/8 of a tank of gas. :eek:
