Steve
I also encountered a SU electric pump no working when it became rather hot.
Not only due to its own heat but that coming to it from the exhaust pipe on
a very hot day. I have made a test rig on the same basis as the 'official'
version. I left this pump running at the full flow rate for many hours but
just as I was about to finish the test it stopped. It was quite hot running
at full rate for so long. but when it cooled it ran fine.
Eventually I discovered that when hot the throw over stopped working. This
led to the discovery that the diaphragm was too 'tight'. I then found that
later repair instruction called for more part turns before replacing the
base. In fact two extra clamping holes.
I have to assume that the setting was right on the edge and when the
temperature rose the diaphragm became tighter. Since then the pump has been
refitted to my BN1 and works fine.
Best regards
