Noisy warlbro?

[glhman]

I've had in the car for a least a year, but it just recently started making a whining noise intermittantly. It doesn't happen all the time, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with temperature or fuel level either. Doesn't affect performance either.

So, do they start making noise when they are going out?

generally, yes

but, like a front wheel bearing, they *may* make noise for a looong time before actually failing / losing performance

Funny you say that, my front wheel bearings have made noise since I bought the car 3 years ago

my walbro has been whiney since day one.

My inline walbro I used on a toyota project truck and it is whiny(sp) from day 1. I think it sounds kinda cool.

Probably due to a voltage drop, i.e. alternator going out, bad connections, bad ground, dieing wire.

heh.. mine fuel pump in daytona made me a supprise fiev days ago. 5-10 minutes of "noise" and then died...
