Hey peoples!

Here's my dilemma: while testing a new Walbro 255 for operation (touching leads to battery terminals) for maybe 10 sec's, it begins to get a bit warm (not too hot to handle, just warm).

Is this normal and how warm is safe https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/unsure.png ?

Knowledge me...



Props in advance!!!

Are you putting fuel through it or just air?



I would think running air through it wouldnt be good?

Just running air through it... checking it for noises, retarded vibrations and such.

Fuel is the cooling medium for a fuel pump. The heat generated is normal but you should avoid running the pump in the manner you did for any lenght of time.
