914 flying with both fuel pumps ON

Depends on your altitude. If you're high enough to allow time for a restart then it's OK to turn one off but I usually fly so low that if one fuel pump quit I wouldn't have time to do anything but concentrate on flying it to the ground.

Really?  How low would that be?

Once you get past the startle reflex and establish a glide it should not take more than a couple of seconds to flip the other pump on and engage the starter.
