Been running a Aeromotive pump daily and racing the last 4 years (?) maybe . Quiet and no dramas . The one below a 1000 series . Oh i also fitted their return regulator at the same time . Went from a Holley hp150

i've had a lot of luck with the Magnafuel. both my racecar & my streetcar run the 275. both have never had an issue. whats actually wrong with the pump? I don't have it off yet but it appears the motor is locked up.

It sounds like it was fat also being that you went quicker when the pump was dying.. so after you get a pump try leaning it down EDIT I was running a pair of 140s on my stuff before I swapped to injection but 1 of them would work for you(Mallory 140)

Justin...Maybe you will get lucky. A few weeks back that Holley HP 150 locked up on me. Took it apart and cleaned up the gear assembly and it works just fine! I did install an Aeromotive S/S 11203 pump that works great! It may be a bit noisy for the street. Good luck!

In the past, Magnafuel has been excellent to deal with for parts and service. I'd call them before buying a new pump.

Get another pump... Work on the tune-up and the power management for whatever track your running.... Spinning ant winning..... I agree... Sounds too fat..

More than likely the small bearing nearest the fuel inlet and outlet froze up. I've seen 2 magnafuel pumps do this in the past 3 days... The bearing shouldn't cost more than $5-$10. DING DING DING.........We have a winner! Guys if your Magnafuel pump starts leaking replace the bottom bearing when you do new seals. It could save you some grief.

If you still decide to get another one, the Aeromotive 11203 is a real good little pump. I ran one for a long time on my car running mid 9s at 3800 lbs...just a simple deadhead system w/ -8 line.

My magnafuel 300 did the exact same thing. I sent mine back to MF and they fixed it up for me.
