Lost it on a busy state highway and if I had a backup then I could have gotten it home or at least off the road. This was 15 years ago and I went to NAPA for a mechanical pump which is still working and hardly ever use the backup .I don't think it hurts to crank engine a little and get oil flowing before it fires on long shutdowns.

You'd mention a former fordbarn pro. KenCT by chance?
