[QUOTE="G0lddigg@, post: 337573, member: 357"] hey Rusty22, What you need in pump size is all about litres per hour not HP, your average 2-4HP engine in Australia sadly only put out about 12,000 litres maximum per hour which really is bugger all but is enough to run a 10 inch dream mat just don't expect loads of jet pressure at your spray bars running it in a highbanker with that flow. The honda wx15 is the best all rounder even the wx15t if you can find one it has a larger pump housing. I dont think there is any problem with using a large pump i did for the last 5 years my pump is 36kgs and i had a 5.5hp 2 inch pump that was 22kg its really not that big of a deal and if you have trouble with a big pump you can use a barrow or a trolley. when you get away form the small more complex engines/lighter engines you get into cheaper territory and can get a 24,000 liters per hour pump for under $300 delivered just about anywhere in Australia. theres a heap of threads about this already you should be able to find some good examples in here but a photo of what you've built would make it real easy for us to make recommendations mate [/QUOTE]
