building a pressure washer from scratch
    #21790318 - 06/10/15 08:43 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

so this is what im trying to do



Those sell for like $750, which seems a tad steep.

i want a good motor but to save cash thats where i have to lean a bit i think.  Obviously id like a honda, but i hear honda "clones" are pretty good, so after alot of searching i finally found them

http://www.smallenginesforsale.com/6-5-hp-small-engine-lifan-red/?page_context=category&faceted_search=0

$140 shipped seems pretty good

next, is the water pump, which for some fucked up reason costs twice as much as a motor, why.......elves i guess run them and demand high wages.

now idealy i wanted 3 gpm and 3000 psi, but for some reason i can't find a cat pump that does that.

these guys http://www.pwoutlet.com/PRESSURE-PRO-PRO-POWER-PPS3030LCI-PRESSURE-WASHER-p/pps3030lci.htm

says that it gets those numbers, but when i google the pump on it, it says 2.7 gpm. 

id really like to find one of these pumps closer to $150 but that doesn't seem possible


this is the cheapest i can find

http://www.pressurewashersdirect.com/Pressure-Pro-SLP4PPX30GSI-057/p10554.html

which is $280


so those 2 items alone put me at $420  ironic i know


But i still have to get a hose which 50ft of good stuff is somewhere around $80 i guess

then a wand is like another $50

so thats $550


BUT, i still have to build a cart to put it all on, which i really don't know how to do, i could easily get some sheet metal but thick enough to hold a motor could be expensive.  Seems like menards wants like $30 off the top of my head for like a foot by foot sheet of somewhat thick metal that prob still wouldn't hold it:lol:

but the hard part is doing the wheel mounts and handle, and the wheels id have to buy or just cut some wood into a round shape, in hind sight i guess i could make the entire cart out of wood, that would make things a bit easier, but really really ugly if i did it wrong.  i could use some design ideas in this area



anyways does this seem worth the trouble?  by time its all done im not even sure id be saving any money, it seems like these things are being built at almost no profit, i had to drop a clone into the build just to 'maybe' save some money, if i had used a real honda engine id be losing.

and thats basically the one thing that worries me about that yamaha is the engine, altho its a good name, its not a commercial engine as far as i can tell which makes me worry about how long it would last, i kind of view it like those cheap GC honda engines which is better that alot of crap out there but i don't really know for sure how much better.  and the honda clone i guess im not sure if thats considered commercial either:shrug:

anyways, thoughts?

well i got the frame figuered out

http://www.fleetfarm.com/detail/milwaukee-folding-platform-truck/0000000036834

something like that should work pretty good

still not sure about the pump tho, i can't even find used cat pumps, there's like 2 on ebay and they are both as expensive as a new one, shit don't make sense.  nobody knows where to find a good pump for a reasonable price?


i really want that yamaha spray gun its the nicest one ive seen, i was looking and i could build one with replacement parts from yamaha but each part at a time, gets expensive, and again, can't find them on ebay either.....
