Walbro GSS340g3 connector

Might be a lost cause, but was hoping someone has insight on where I can replace the connector that is attached to the fuel pump. Opened my package and it was broken. See photos below:

Depending on how OCD you are:

1. Toss it, pretty sure the connector block is integral to the end cap which is held in place by the rolled over edge of the pump case.

2. Use the existing wiring/connector plug as is, adding some fuel proof RTV to hold it in place on the damaged socket.

3. Solder the wiring directly onto the two tabs and cover them over with specialty fuel-proof heat shrink.

Ultimately you have to rationalize for yourself the cost of replacing it vs the reduced reliability of making it work it as-is.

No way I'd use that. The effort to replace that pump now is way less than replacing it later.

It's an electric motor submerged in gasoline. I would not take a chance on being stranded or blowing the back half of my car off:)

where'd you buy the pump? will the vendor replace it?

Solder wires directly to the tabs and then heat shrink on top, stronger than the connector.

I wouldn't use that. Have the vendor replace it if it arrived broken.

Thanks for the feedback yalls. Just called the vendor (FFR) and they are sending me a new unit.
