They do get pretty hot due to their location but the kero passing through keeps the internals healthy.
Which burner do you have?

I don't know which burner it is but it's an old one I was hoping to keep going for a few months until some building work is complete when I am getting gas installed. There was black smoke coming out of the flue and I had a pump lying around so I just lobbed it in and hoped for the best (fixed the black smoke btw). The motor is on its way out too so I'm just going to give it up and hope the weather will get better or find a second hand burner and replace it with that. So, thanks for the replies folks but no need to keep this thread going.

I think Bob will mean the pump mounting system, usually a few allen screws. Incorrect tightening here can cause excess friction and sometimes means the motor won’t start at all.

Yeah, there's three allen screws. I tried to turn each the same number of times as not to mis-align the pump with the motor. The motor does work when you give it a bit of a push and will work for a time before ceasing and locking the system. I wonder if that's the reason. Ta much Burnerman.
No worries - keep those screws on the slack side......it isn’t the best engineering I’ve ever seen!

Most kind Bob but I very much doubt it!
