Engine and fuel pump at operating temperature using FLIR infrared camera. The Fuel pump is a return type connected to the fuel filler. Also since the pump is new, it is shiney and skews the emissivity autorange...you cannot take infrared image of shiney metal....one thing i noticed after touring the coach after a drive with the camera...the speedometer cable was 120 degrees, about 20 higher than ambient, maybe this is normal, or perhaps a lube is requires...i need to retake the "after" duracool image...it was 62 degrees versus the 82ish. Great for locating loose electrical connections or shorts too.

I can take requests for photos...

It might be helpful to take pictures of different parts of the fuel lines between the tanks and the carb. May help to ID where the major vapor lock area is to be found.

Hey Sean. This thread might shed some light on the elevated temp.
