I noticed that the Walbro 255 fuel pump stays on when I turn the ignition to "ON" (When the fuel pump primes). Does the Walbro 255 continue to whirl or isn't it supposed to shut off after two seconds like the stock fuel pump?

If I could of bought the "Honda" Main relay I would of. Buying a 'New" relay is a lot better than just fixing it. All the parts on my Honda are bought from Honda. So to me ... the money that I spend on my Honda is never considered a waste of money. No wonder why you see so many beat up and run down Hondas out there on the streets, because no one wants to spend money and fix it the right way (My opinion). I treat my Honda like I would treat any exotic car.

And plus ... Now I have a lifetime warrantee on the main relay. so if anything goes wrong, "BOOM" ... rush over to AutoZone and get a "Brand new one" for free!

Since you have fixed them before, would you tell us specifically what you do
should we be in a situation where we could not easily get a replacement?-Bob
