That's the main issue with Chinese copy stuff, a lot of it is directly copied from the genuine article & nothing wrong with the actual design per-se, it's the quality control that's lax so far & as you say some are no doubt still flowing away happily, their owners smug for the great deal they got on a "Walbro pump" but would you want to chance it...

Personally, as in my other recent thread, I quite like the savings you can make on knock-off Chinese kit with care and luck & have had some good stuff (most recently a nice "Fluke" multimeter for ?20) and am considering some chinky 1600cc injectors from Ebay as they're about the same price as new "real" 440's and COULD be O.K. & would be all the injector I'd ever need for a big power build in future, but if I did get them I'd be doing some serious stripping, measuring, soaking in 10% ethanol fuel & having flow rates tested etc before use!

Anyway sorry for rambling, perhaps the best budget option for ochowdero could be a used JZA80 TT pump?
