[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 451509, member: 3278"] [size=5]There is a difference between damaged and destroyed. There are a myriad of variables involved here as well. Was the engine just run in the water then cranked again without? Was it run yesterday and cranked for a few seconds today? Has the engine not been run for a week, weeks, or months then cranked? Each makes a difference in how dry that pump cavity and impeller is. Was the impeller a new impeller or several years old? With the old iron there is another variable. Those old pumps seem to have a constant supply of unburned fuel/oil running down the driveshaft and into the pump. Not good for the rubber but it is a lubricant and they seem to put up with it for a long long time. Will running an engine out of water for 5 seconds destroy a pump? You decide. [/size] [/QUOTE]
