Good morning all,
I am going to be putting together my first rig hopefully next week, nothing fancy I have a 13hp motor (predator) and will be using that. I will need to buy a pump to pair with the engine, I been looking at the general pump EZ3042S is a 4.2gpm, 3000psi @ 1750rpm. Is this a decent pump or should I look at a different one? I have notice that there are pump made to run at 1750rpm and at 3400rpm which one is better? (I would think the slower one since there is less friction right?) My engine is rated at 3600rpm so I know I need to buy pulleys to reduce the speed at the pump. I will be using a 4.25” at motor and 8.5” at pump, that way I have a 2:1 ratio. I am on the right track right? Should I buy single or double grove pulleys? Does anyone have any pointers that I need to consider while putting the new rig together? Thanks in advance and have a great day!!!
