[QUOTE="RottenRon, post: 59312, member: 174"] Mine's not a Honda, but a fair bit cheaper. I agree Twapster, save some bickies to start with. Besides, if you take into account the amount of water available in the creeks during the drier months, the pump will just be sitting idle for a fair part of the year anyway. Last weekend I recycled water out of a small hole in Sailor's Creek. Ok for a while, but it got pretty dirty in the end and too hard to see if the riffles were working properly. That's about the last time it will be used now till we get water flows in the Golden Triangle creeks again. Mine hasn't quite got the flow of the Honda, but it's not too far behind and runs my average sized hibanker pretty well. What's more, I can lump it around pretty easily as it only weighs 8kg. So far it runs a treat and starts easily, first pull. Here's a link to the specs. just scroll down to my post with pics. [url]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3585&p=2[/url] The money saved pays for the hoses, and the weight saving over the bigger pumps means you can cart it further if you need to. Just a thought. Cheers, Ron. [/QUOTE]
