4200Xl pump not operating and getting hot.

You still using the metal tank that came with the model?

The video RCSparks did awhile ago addressing some of the issues with this model, he was manually priming the pump moving the boom/stick/bucket by hand b/c apparently the oil input line draws from top of tank & it does not have a pickup tube reaching down into tank... throw that tank away & get yourself a plastic fuel cell for an airplane/heli/nitro car, as big of one you can fit - the more oil the better.
