I'm rebuilding the M90 for my project right now, I think sucking gas through an m90 is far to dangerous aside from the bearing issue, especially if your carb floods and your trying to compress a liquid, especially if there is a failure when your blower is turning at 12 to 14 grand. Its just not made to work that way. Even if people have done it and gotten away with it, eaton says to absolutely not do it.
