Ok...now that I got my motor running....how often can I run it out of water using muffs? I have read no longer than five minutes while using the muffs. However, can I let it sit for a spell and then run it again say after 30 minutes?

As long as the motor is getting water I don't see why it would matter how long it ran.

I have never read any 5 minute rule, I wouldn't worry as long as it is getting water it should run as long as you want.

Interested to see what others say.

as long as you have a steady stream of water and your overheat buzzer is working .and you dont bring it up over 1500 rpm you can run as long as you like i run mine 30 minutes at a time idleing and sometimes longer when im working on it
