So after years of have 2 pressure washers sitting around taking up space I bought a new one.(Simpson 3200) I had both motors running but pumps are trashed on them. So the question is are there any other uses for these motors?

Remember Andy's rickshaw that's what powered the alt to charge the battery

So he essentially keyed a pulley to the bottom to run a belt to an alternator? Did he have a converter?

When I was 10, my Dad took a horizontal shaft power washer motor and put it on a junk go-kart body we got from a neighbor. It was fun, underpowered, and if I made a sharp left hand turn it would lose oil pressure and shut off lol.

What about that guy at TF with the boombox powered by a small engine that was on his Big Red? Build one of those and I'll bring a TV and we can all do karaoke :D

I thought these were electric motors. LOL

Whenever I hear motor I think electric. Engine I think gas powered.

I have seen a couple drift trikes with those engines on them. :). Depends on the size of the engine but some gokarts use them. I raced back years ago. Ran the 5.5 and 6.5 HP engines.

First time someone corrected me on that I asked him why there wasn’t an EngineTrend magazine.

Something about the Brits motoring about the countryside. We live in crazy times.
