God Bless Everyone.
You guys are the best. Really tired of seeing unused NM.
Hi, first of all, we thank you for the information you give through your videos 👏🏼🙏🏼. I wanted to ask you a question, I have two GX 270 pressure machines and I would like to increase the gpm! What a treat, can you recommend that I work with Gx 270 to increase the highest gpm. I appreciate your help.
Picked up an old washer after my new brushless monster died in like 40 minutes... defeated the purpose of low maintenance lol. Started looking for pump/chassis as a priority- hoping to find one that didn't run, could swap motor out if needed, still gets me way under cost of new. So for $150 got an older Italian HyPro with a Honda G400 (old 11hp flathead) built in gear reduction (not sure what the reduction is, I'm guessing 2:1 based on pump rpm/motor rpm) 4.7gpm 1800psi. Lower pressure but great volume (which frankly for most of what I do, this is a better setup, especially since I'd like to run a small wet media blaster sometimes.)
My question is, can I bring down the orifice sizes some to get more pressure and sacrifice some flow? The thing is beefy, I don't imagine it'd be a problem as long as the motor can chug through. Have you ever used a small diesel on a pressure washer? Too much noise/harmonics? Because a belt drive on a small diesel may actually work really well. The small 6hp 196 diesels probably make a lot more torque under load, could run only a slight underdrive on the pump side. Would running it at slightly more rpm increase pressure at all? Or just flow? Pressure being a result of flow through certain passage/orifice sizes?
Hey Troy need a new pump on my gx390 and being gear drive with an internal unloaded I’d like to upgrade to at least a reduction gear driven 5gpm pump and external unloaded. would you be able to point me in the right direction to buying the correct unloaders and reduction boxes ?
BE Pressure or BAR Group
Aloha, wondering if you could help me !!!
Thinking 8 gpm at 4000 psi for plumbing jetta. Require the 4000 psi to push through the blockage
Honda igx 800 or GX 690 and which pump works best at 4000 psi
I think you prefer gear driven ?
Rylie
You cant use jetter with honda engine, not enough power.
Hello, I'm new to your channel.
You mentioned a man named John in this video (from the US)
Do you know his channel name?
Nice! I am in the USA! Thank you for sharing. What manufacturer/ part number would be the reduction gear box?
We use PA gearboxes , this is the one we use www.bep.kiwi/shop/item.aspx/gear-box-21-11-18hp-1in-5/11325/
Have that gear box part #?
whats the link to this gearbox?
Do you do a video on the v-twin engine I will love to see it?
sure do, what the latest video plus the next 2 or 3 to come
Hi,
Had a question you might be able to answer. I have a honda gx390 13 hp engine pressure washer (belt drive). It has a 4.0 gpm pump (1750 rpm) and 3500 psi
Can i swap out the pump to a 5.5 gpm @ 3000 or 3500 psi? Just not sure if the rpm on the pump (1450 vs 1750) make a difference on the engine.
Just curious because some 5.5 gpm pressure washer use the same gx390 engine but the rpm is lower.
Did u find a answer to that ? I have a older gx390 with 4gpm pump an I want to put a 5.5gpm pump on there it's gear drivn but everyone sayn belt driven is better. It was free so I want to make it like the other 2 5.5 gpm 3000psi

Hi,
Yes, it will take too much and cost is not worth it. They will need to adjust the engine for the correct RPM for the pump. Then change the belt pulley to run the 5.5 gpm. Again, the cost wasn't worth it. I got a 5.5 gpm from a guy on Craigslist. It was in great condition and couldn't pass it up.
Good luck 👍
Any damaged or blems pump motor for sale
Hi Troy, Iam building a pressure washer similar to this using the Comet FW2 5530 with the PA 2:1 gear box from Bargroup and the Honda GX 390 (the FW2 has the same pressure and GPM as the RW 5530 only cheaper due to not having hot water seals.)
My qustion is at a 2:1 ratio the GX390 is running at 1800rpm, these pumps state that they should be run at 1450rpm maximum. Would this not damage the pump? Are my calculations correct or am I missing something?
Na won't damage the pump at all , should be totally fine
Remember that the 1800rpm you calculated is probably without a load. With the pump putting a load on the engine it will definitely slow the rpm’s some.
You can always throttle back a tad but I doubt you’ll need too.
2:55 you know it and what machine👍🏽
What anti rust chemical do you use for filling pressure pump on storage?
just standard anti freeze with a small amount of radiator rust inhibitor
@@WashRite thanks
Thanks for the video! Um what’s the cost usually for gear reduction, pump, and unloader valve?
Motor $1k, Gear Box $400 Pump $800 give or take
Wash Rite Limited thanks! I’m pricing out a setup and thinking of going 4gpm direct drive? How long/ many hrs do you think it will go?
Stay away from direct drive, waste of money, you should get 2000 from a decent well maintained pump
Where are you located??
Davey Trotman at Wash Rite we get around 1750hrs out of a motor and pump setup before we start to look to replace
What do you think about the Comet ZWD-K 4042 4 GPM 4200 psi pressure washer pump ?? i have just bought this because the Honda was a great deal ( normally just window cleaning do the odd pressure washing job ) Will this pump be ok ? even with out a bypass . any tips on keeping it cool and for longtevitiy .. www.agrieuro.de/benzin-hochdruckreiniger-agrieuro-zwdk-15290-mit-pumpe-comet-zwd-motor-honda-gx-390-p-16734.html
Do you guys ever fill the reduction box with gear oil before mounting it to the engine and notice that it slowly leaks oil out of the spot where the engine shaft will insert??? ... I've had two reduction boxes (Both Brand New and Exactly the same type as you have in this video) and BOTH have begun leaking oil. Does it seal better once the engine is mounted to the reduction box?
This is really freaking me out.
no never, that would tell me the cap on the inside has been pushed in, this can happen if you jam the box onto the shaft to hard, but never happened to us , well not yet
What gear drive unit are you using? Is that the ygr1000?
I just learned today on my 5.5 there is a flaw the way it is tensioned and destroys belts. I need one of these ASAP
That pump and gear box isn't too heavy to run on that block without support???
not at all
With all the vibration and heat transferred to the pump, you would think it NEEDS some dampening support.
Can someone install a 4000 psi pump on a 196cc engine
I'd say 3000 psi if your lucky
It would depend greatly on the gpm instead of the psi. 4000 psi at 3gpm will run on a smaller engine than 4000 psi at 5 gpm. What gpm (gallons per minute) or liters are you looking at?
Also what’s the horse power of the engine. That sounds small I’m guessing around 5 to 7 hp. If it’s that small you’d probably only get by with a 2.5 or maybe 3 gpm pump.
doubt it
@@warriorofgodfitness488 other youtuber gave recommended 3 to 4 gallon per minute over pressure pounds per square inches on residential buildings and drive ways . Thanks for commenting about the gpm
is that enough hp for that pump?
Great questions, Yes just enough power, we don't want to or need to run the pump at its max pressure of 3000psi we only run them around 2200 psi, if you wanted to run max pressure from these pumps you would need to run a 18hp Vtwin motor.
@@WashRite what nozzle size do you use to adjust the unloader pressure for this setup?
@@igorverdes These are the exact ones we use and where I get them from pressuretek.com/down-stream-nozzle-kit/
Do you sale this machine 4000psi pressure washer
We can if your in NZ
@@WashRite where can i buy one from you?
@@apollo1094 we are based in New Zealand, Where are you based ?
@@WashRite Auckland
How can I contact you Troy to purchase? I can pick up from Hamilton.
I go with the Chinese copy engines. Probably made in the same factory as the Honda
They're not, go for a Loncin, predator or a real Honda.
Like most car parts are made in china, rebranded, sold at marked up prices. I'll go with the copy engines. Full warranty and cheap parts. Cost of life is way cheaper than paying more for a brand name in this case. Honda sold off it's small engine business
best of luck with that
@@herbertvonsauerkrautunterh2513 with some stuff you can do that no doubt.
I've used them all, spend the money and buy a Honda. I use Honda motors just about everyday. I have been down the Chinese rabbit hole and it didn't work out. If your a homeowner that has countless time, have at it. If your a business owner that customers rely on, terrible idea.
honda are the best small engine made, thats why all the china stuff copys honda engines.
