It's only a common problem after the engine/fuel pump is 25 years old or has a but load of hours. I bought my 1811 in 2002 with about 1300 hours on it. Motor was new at 1175. It now has 2100 hours. I've put ONE fuel pump on it. To me that isn't a bad enough failure rate to justify wiring up an electric pump that may last 10 years if you're really lucky. Failure rate on electric pumps is higher than mechanical.
