Hi, I'm from Iran. Thank you very much for making this video. I wanted to buy one of these but I didn't know how to use it. It helped me a lot. Thank you.
Thanks for making this video. I am about to buy one of these to test an old well I have on my property but was unsure of how to prime it. I thought I had to constantly add water until it was pumping water out. Now I know you just wait for it to get the air out of the system. This helped me a lot.
Thanks for commenting, I'm always happy to hear when I helped someone. Yes only prime once. As long as you do not empty the pump, you do not have to re prime even if you shot it off and restart in a few hours.
Thanks that's really helpful. Have had one in storage for several years and have lost the instructions. Storm coming to the UK imminently and want to be prepared!
Yes I read about the storm moving from the Atlantic into Europe. Good luck and be safe!
Hello,It's not normal, the choke is necessary just for startup. You have to adjust the fuel or clean the carburetor before adjusting it. Good demo of this pump
Thank you very much for the comprehensive but very easy to understand guide! Godbless
Thanx...very helpful
my pleasure!
1. how often do you have to oil this? how to know when?
2. does the 4 speed control the strenght of the flow of water coming out?
No spark on candle while trying to run
Should go back to the store?
Can I use this Engine for pumping spent brewery yeast from a tank to a vehicle?
My guess would be yes as this pump can be used to pump "muddy water" as long as there as no stones that could damage the impellor.
Can this be piped down to the pressure washer or is that too much water
Hi, I would say that's way too much water. You can go with a smaller pump and if you have access to electricity, then you can use an electrical water pump.
can I use polypipes as the intake and outlet hoses?
Hi Peter, you can use pretty much anything for the outlet hose. However in intake hose has to be non-collapsible. If the polypipe is strong enough then it would work.
c This looks like a semi-trash pump. I'm looking for a similar pump but high PSI for irrigation.
Where can this be purchased? Brand? Pump curve, etc?
Hi, I do not have much experience in the high pressure pumps but I believe the electric, deep water well pump might be what you need. They suck and push smaller amounts of water but with a much higher PSI. This makes it possible to have running water in homes with wells. Here is an example: www.amazon.ca/Red-Lion-RL-SWJ50-97080502-Shallow/dp/B00VIL42KE/
Please i need help
I turn on my pump but it doesnt want to draw water from the extraction hose
It gets only water from the bowl where i put water
I checked the hose, its alright, its not blocked nowhere
Please help
If you fill it up with water and it's not sucking water, there is a leak somewhere in the system. If the hose is not damaged, check the connection. If the connection is air tight then check the casing. Mine the casing had a crack, very small, but that resulted in air being sucked in and water wasn't moving in the hose. Oh and make sure the suctions hose is designed for sucking and not soft hose.
How long it took until it started pumping the water out?
I would say 2-3 minutes. But this can vary if your bringing water up from a deeper source and the speed of your motor. You should see water progressing in the intake tube. If not then there is a leak of air somewhere or you casing is cracked. Mine was cracked and had to be repaired, otherwise you would run it 20 minutes and nothing would be sucked in.
One question. Does it suck from a depth of 10 meters?
No! it can suck a height of about 7.5 meters, and it can push water up to 25 meters in height. But when you go to extremes, the amount of water being delivered in reduced.
To suck from deep water table, you need a well pump.
What happens when you use less than 3inch intake pipe
If you find a coupler to go from the 3 inch intake to a 2 inch pipe, you could connect but you will strain the machine. You could run it for a short time at a low power (low rpm). Ideally run on 3 inch, there is a pump which has the 2 inch intake.
How much
carbs needs cleaning :)
Клапан надо на шланг.
How much does it cost
King brand is about $500
This needs carburetor adjustment
Hmm
yeap
Can it work in deep well
No, for deep well you need well pump, which costs a little less than these ones.
It takes time for suction to start?
Yes of course. It take a couple of minutes depending length, diameter and height from the water level.
If you install a 2 inch foot valve on the end of the hose in the water instead of the regular strainer, fill your intake hose with water, attach it to your primed pump, then start your motor then it will start discharging water immediately. No waiting required.
Your carburetor needs a cleaning, it should not have to run with partial choke on.
Maybe it just needs a new carburetor. This machine is brand new and was stored with zero fuel. I wonder if it has any adjustment knobs, Have to look into it. I have a snow blower and that one had a non adjustable carb. I cleaned ivain. Bought a new adjustable and now it runs like new.
@@photographiedynamic There will be at least one mixture screw on the carburetor, there are operators manuals which will show adjustment and where to find the screw/s.
@@jetstream454 Thanks, next time I take it out, I will look into. I'll let you know.
Price
$600 for this, about $900 for a Honda
How much is this
A Honda is about $1500, a copy replicate product such as this is $400
where is the water, you will damage the pump
I show you that you have to fill the water (prime the pump at 3:40) into the chamber where it impellor is. Although you do not see water come out for the first few minutes, the impellor in rotating in water therefore not damaging the machine.

Please don’t start your motor like this
Please elaborate. My instructions are are taken from the manufacturers instruction manual.
Honestly, that's the worst pump I ever buy. Very cheap
They are cheap indeed, that's why I have a Honda as a backup. This one had to be fixed before even we used it couple years after we bought.
