I have an old devilbiss excell 2600 pressure washer that has a pump for the water that needs no oil,but it says you should not leave it run without running water through it or it can burn up.When you stop pressure to the trigger after about 30 seconds it starts making sound like a slipping clutch.I see pressure pumps that have an oil lubrication reserve on them and was wondering how much longer they might run that this pump as i like to work in between pressure washing and not have to shut it off for five minutes between spraying with it.Does it hurt the sealed pump to run without the pressure trigger engaged and water flowing through to cool the pump?If the pump with the oil reserve would be better,i might look into changing out the pumps instead of burning this one up.Any thoughts or experience in this matter would be appreciated
