Re: Testing Common OMC fuel pumps

I’m leaning towards gas or just a bad string of luck. Out of the 6-8 motors in a row that this happened, most of them were not run dry. They just failed after being used for about 5 mins during an initial run. I do put sea foam into all my gas in a diluted mixture (not the dose prescribed on the can) as a preventative in general; perhaps if these pumps are really old that’s all it takes is a bit of solvent to do them in.

I’ll report back if I find more or figure out a pattern.
