I have in my shop s good working stinger 1 hot pressure washer, but it doesnt produce enough pressure so I was wondering if I can make my honda gx390 a hot water unit using the stinger 1 partd. Any suggestions or thoughts? Can it be done. Here is some pics of the stinger 1. Thanks

Anything is possible but I'm willing to bet that you'd be much better off to donate that to a museum and spend the time saved building up your marketing.
 
Colin, in the second pic, that tank looks badly rusted. Don't worry about the pump and motor underneath. Is it a 2 or 3 gpm Stinger? Either way, the fan and fuel nozzle will need to be replaced for any heat at 4 gpm or above. You will also need a 2500 watt or better generator to run it, a flow switch, and a thermostat, plus a couple of fittings to make it work. I can help you with all of that, I've converted many 120 volt hot water machines into hot boxes.

But, back to that rust. Look it over really good, and make sure it's sturdy enough to even bother spending the money for the conversion.
