Title: What pump for this shaft?
Post by: JetVac Cleaning on June 01, 2014, 07:37:04 pm
Need to purchase a pump for this engine! Is there a certain type of pump or will most pumps fit it. It measures around 22mm across the shaft. Does this mean it's a 3/4 shaft? It's perfectly smooth all round with no keyway

3/4" is about 19mm not 22mm. If the shaft is round without a keyway then you will have to use a taper lock coupling on a pulley set up. Where did you find this engine and what was it on previously ?

It was on a generator and I took that part off to build a cheap washer for my nephew. Wishing I had just bought him a cheap washer now.

It's a generator engine. No good for a pressure washer ...unless you go taper lock as Carl says. You need a "Q" shaft really ...not taper shaft.
