Yes, the flow will carry off the heat, but it can't if the flow stops when the pump has met the demand of the carb. With the pump delivering 2 to 3 times the engine demand it should be shut off by the carb float at some point in time. It should work anyway if the demand factor is not exceeded. [ Excess cyclic loading]
