Re: Testing Common OMC fuel pumps

[kerry]

First, like Frank, I have been running motors dry at the ramp since my father did the same when I was a wee lad. Never had any pump problems or carb issues even after winter storage. As a teen and young adult, had two ski boats fed by 6 gallon tanks. Ran them til the tank ran dry and switched tanks. Again, no problems with pumps. I just wonder if the newer kits use a cheaper construction that fails easier. (Planned obsolescense?)

If you have too many, AND not enough, you're a collector.
