I was trying to trouble shoot my engine for a few minutes(rpm jumps around at low rpms) and the dang garden hose fell off the earmuffs. I think it fell off withing 60 seconds of when I shut the motor off. It seems to be peeing fine, but that could just be the water from the hose forcing its way out. The engine didn't get hot, no buzzers went off and I could stick my hand under the pee stream and it wasnt that hot

Should I risk running it this weekend?

I think anyone who has run an engine on muff's for any length of time has had this happen. I would run it, and just keep an eye on it at first.

Thank you, I figured it'd be fine, but I know those rubber impellers aren't the toughest thing on the planet lol
