"If I'm on short final and forget (yes, that happens in a blue moon, doesn't it) to turn on the electric pump, my engine could die during landing which could make a go around (if needed) impossible, if not disasterous. This did not happen before the overhaul. The engine ran fine without the electric pump. And the electric pump should be a BACK-UP to the mechanical pump, not the only thing that keeps an engine running under 1000 rpm. Personally, I think it's very dangerous."
