take it apart at top and see if it is blocked,  as cable normally only burns if pulling to much power

I stopped smoking over three months ago, I think.  My lungs feel pretty good these days.

I'm also about as much use as a boil on yer backside, I know I know.

Apologies.  I hope the pump gets sorted quick.
