Its probably ok. The biggest concern would be sucking something into the internal piston chamber that would clog it up and if that happened it wouldnt run.
If you agree that the answer I provided is correct please remember to "accept" and/or mark it as "helpful" so I know I'm doing a good job. Thank you, I would really appreciate it.
