What is everyones opinin on water transfer pumps. I have always ran either a 1" Honda or a 2" Honda trash pump for my dewatering needs but my 2" pump has been getting harder to prime every time I need it. I had a 4" water main break late Saturday night. The carb was gummed up from bad gas and I had to take the bowl off and clean it out real good to get it to fire. It almost started then I broke the pull rope took the recoil starter off and got it to fire by just wrapping the rope around the end of the crank shaft. I got it fixed all proper now, however I feel as I should upgrade before the inevitable happens. I am considering an electric submerged pump but have no experience with them. Are they better worse or the same? I know they have about half the gpm and don' really know if that will be enuf or not.
