Fuel Pump PSI

Welp after several weeks of intermittent shutdowns from fuel related problems. I finally found that my recently purchased facet E - fuel pump from Moyer marine had a factory loose + wire coming out of the pump cylinder. This was causing the fuel pump to intermittently shutoff when the boat started moving. I slapped in the spare fuel pump bought by a Previous owner and now the engine does not have the intermittent shutdowns. But it is pushing anywhere from 5 - 7psi to my carb. The PO must have not purchased their pump from moyermarine. As measured by my fuel pressure gauge. How dangerous is pushing 4 more psi than the recommended 3psi? Ordering a new fuel pump today but would like to know if I can run the engine in the meantime?
