Title: Ever curious what no fuel to fuel pump looks like

No fuel to cool pump and you keep it running.  :(

Hello Bob, how long do you think it would take to overheat and burn out?  Seems if owners have trouble starting their car, the pump could be running for some time while they try and diagnose the problem, seems it should probably be the first thing to check

Second and possibly a dim question, but what's different with the early pumps that weren't cooled, how are they designed to run without cooling?

Thanks

For the uneducated and inexperienced in the classroom, maybe you can show side by side this one and a normal used one.

Sorry. I already have one I am rebuilding at Pagodafest. If you want to bring it, I  can rebuild and mail back to you. I usually test pumps for a total of 6 hours. That is so brushes can start to make groove and seat in armature.
