need help with walbro fuel pump

I put my walbro in using instructions on the forums and now the car starts for a moment and then stalls out. I tried to put the stock one back in and it does the same.

Hmmm, something odd there, sounds like it's not picking up, check the sock isnt blocked and that you used the new one. And all connectors are on as tight as they should be.

Also, be sure you got a REAL Walbro, there were fakes around being sold on ebay as 'Walbro'.

You can tell by looking down the hole at the bottom of the pump, if you see metal tumblers it is a real Walbro, But... if you look down and see plastic teeth on the end of a large wheel inside then it is a fake. These will blow your engine indue time. Make sure you get the real one, if it is not real, then send it back and demand your money back.

It's not getting fuel...check for blown fuses, and check to make sure you're you don't have any leaks or anything.
