Have now had a new oil pump fitted to my Archie Kidd VHE boiler and so far so good. However I notice that, after running it for a while with the casing back on, the motor and oil pump are both too hot to touch, is this normal and is it likely to have been the cause of the oil pump failure (shaft is stiff to turn with a 'sticky' feel to it)?
The burner is an Inter 2011 with an AEG motor and Danfoss BFP21L3 pump. Everything else seems to be working OK. Of course the ambient temperature inside the casing is quite high to start with and the motor windings contribute 90W on top of that but what would be regarded as "normal"?
Thanks in anticipation
