building a power washer

faroutthere · 2019-01-16 22:58:06

My old one died.... So ….. Im thinking of building one. Ive a good Honda gx120 engine and Im looking for advice and recommendations. Will I need a gear reduction for this engine for the power washer pump? Any recommendations on a brand of pump to go for or tips? thanks

Repair your old one. If you can't do that, you won't be able to build a new one.

Just check the size shaft on the engine and usually are a keyway type connection. Pumps tend to have a universal esq layout to allow for different mounting points of bolts on the powerunit to hold it all together.
Guess you'd match output to typical water supply with a bit of pressure?
