Default Walbro pump gs400 for bad stock pump?

My fuel pump just went out and the walbro pump is cheaper than denso. I have never heard anything bad about walbro pumps, but was worried if the install would be hard or if it would cause any issues. I have 98 gs400 with 187000 miles on it. Also if there is a DIY for fuel pump replacement either with walbro or stock let me know as well

I'm running a Walbro in my setup...have had only one problem which was JPI installation error. I fixed it myself since and no issues.

single walbro pump should not have any problem, and fits on the stock hangar without an issue.

it's only a problem when people run dual pump with elevated horsepower, and somehow one pump does not get enough fuel, which then kills itself and then leans your engine out.

Single pump is direct replacement.
Double pump will need something like this...
