If the Magnum is anything like the Command(pretty sure they are 98% the same

It more like 98% different not the same engine at all.

I actually don't think the fuel pump was the original problem because it would always start after it cooled down. However this time it wouldn't and after taking the pump apart I noticed one of the one way valves that are pressed into the housing fell out so it wouldn't create a vacuum. Anyway I already had the new pump so I used it and I'll save the old for a spare. I really think the original problem was the overheating because it was really clogged up under there.

Loose one way valves is a very common problem with that style fuel pump and the only way to repair it is a new pump. Makes more for a cold starting problem then hot. Not a wasted repair. :thumbsup:
