So because of the warranty, I ordered this one. It was a direct precise replacement; the diameter was the same, length, even the two power posts were the different and correct sizes. 

It's also a pretty blue color. 

 

As soon as it caught fuel, it was obvious that the old pump was suffering; the old pump was pretty noisy and 'rough', and the fuel returned to the tank through the regulator sounded 'squishy'. Now with the new pump, it's very quiet and smooth, hums rather than rattles. The returning fuel sounds smooth, steady, and pure. If all that makes any sense...

 

Anyway I'm very happy with the new pump, though the old one hadn't failed (but once). I'm calling it pre-emptive maintenance.

The *henway* got me mixed up. I thought we were talking about two different fuel pump alternatives to the Guzzi part . . . :huh2:
