I would assume a hot injection pump is normal, after all it is aluminum(very good conductor of heat) and connected to an iron block making in excess of 400F every power stroke.. but i have never actually felt it, or measured temps.. so what do i know.

Well I still haven't comp tested it.Had a moment today to play with it. Cranked up good cold. Drove it around the block and was blowing smoke, missing a little but was running.I decided to see if I could get any fuel out of the seperator and a little poured out. After that I said f it...I'll try to go back to pre-incident settings. Wouldn't even crank. Put it all back to post incident settings and backed of the fuel and it started idling PERFECT. Only a little smoke and seemed great.I took off to a friends about two miles away. Sure enough...got to about 40mph and it started slowing and then stalled while driving. Primed the system with the electrical pump and it cranked back up.Got to my friends and shut it down. Started it back up about 10 minutes later and headed home.Got about 1 mile and it quit. Would restart. Got a pull home and while coming home I dropped the clutch in 3rd and it cranked up and started idling.I think it might be starving for fuel or something. I have a Mr. Gasket electric pump/filter right after the tank. I'll pull it this weekend to see if it's clogged.
Here's what I'll be doing.1. checking the intank filter2. bypassing the electric pump with it's small ass filter3. checking how well the lines flow4. doing a comp test5. running it straight from a source of diesel.
