I think i dryed fired my Fx5.. i was draining the tank from the valve and when i was done i closed both ends... i forgot to open once the tank was full.... turned it on for about 5mins or more and went down stairs to look at the tank. And notice... it didnt sound like it was Dry but it must of had a little water in it... am i ok? its running now with no problem.
 
that shouldn't have hurt a mag drive motor in any way. I think your safe.
 
after my recent pump problems i was running my pump both in and out of water to test them and they ran fine both ways so should be ok if it was not for too long.
