No worries Dylan. It's been running alright since then. Still working out if it's the petrol that destroyed the original rubber sleeve or if it was E85 that did it. (I've been doing the 20% mix every now and then for about three years now)

Here's what it looked like....

Sorry Zmit, I never saw this thread.

Thanks for letting everyone else know where you can get. I was about to say they definitely do replacement filter kits, but most mechanics will just cobble up a "filter kit" to replace the old one, as its just filter material + some clamps!

Right. So given nobody has really commented on either of my Walbro topics, I'm guessing nobody knows anything about them....

Managed to find a replacement filter from a local mechanic (Southern Hitech Dyno Tune) after trying ALL the auto shop chains in Adelaide

Evening all,
I've been having some trouble with my fuel delivery lately and have just pulled the fuel tank out. Turns out the Walbro filter is clogged up. My Walbro hasn't been too noisy in the three years i've had the pump installed, but that's because of the 10mm rubber insulation I put around it. Until now. There really isn't much left of the insulation. It took 3 years to decay!
Yes I know it wasn't the best idea :P

Does anyone know if it's possible to buy the filter on its own? If so, where from?
Ideally, I'd like to try some local places (Adelaide) first, but will buy online if I can't find anything.

Thanks,
Tim
