NOT 15 or 30 seconds, but at least 60 seconds and maybe as much as 90 or more. When it is cool enough, you can momentarily put your finger on it without burning yourself. You simply must cool off the interior core of the fuel pump sufficiently so that it will not flash fuel to vapor when it starts to pump when the engine fires.<<< O.K. then: How do you pump fuel through the engine to cool off the fuel pump/lines in a carbureted engine to counter vapor lock? I once had to use a bag of ice from the FBO.
