There are a few people on here that may or may not have put a Udor pump on a 22hp Predator, and with excellent results. I wouldnāt expect the Predator to last anywhere NEAR as long as the Honda, but after switching out the fuel pump itāll purr itās way through a whole season without a hitch. I mean, um, so Iāve heardā¦

Thank you guys.
I think Iāll go with General Pump Setup.
Itās supposed to be an economical setup, and the Predator is not durable as Hondaās, so why an Udor?
If this setup last 2 seasons, it was fully paid, and will pay for a better one. With an EFI engine for sureā¦
Thanks again.
Iāll post as it goesā¦

Avoid EFI
1.) The difference in price between a mid-range and top of the line pump is a couple hundred bucks. The difference in engines was over $1100 for me.
2.) Where I live, I can find a replacement engine within 30 minutes, new off the shelf. I canāt put my hands on a new pump without driving a couple of hours each direction.
3.) Personally, Iām way better at diagnosing and repairing small engines than pressure pumps
4.) In my opinion, a cheap pump is more likely to fail than a cheap engine
5.) I used my budget to buy the best of the best parts for literally every other thing in my build. I needed to make room in the budget, and after reading plenty of reviews, I felt comfortable and confident with the cheaper motor. Reading about cheap pumps did NOT give me the same feeling

Like your pointā¦ I have 2 predator engines, 1 with 212 cc and other one in a compressor, 390 cc.
Compressor have more than 1000 hours, and no issues at allā¦
Yes, building a bigger machine. I feel good with my setup with a 4gal / 4.4k psi.
But Iām looking for something faster to run bigger surface cleaner.
8 gpm is the way to go. Gear drives are simple to assemble if you donāt want a belt drive.
No, you back off.

Hey IBS,
Would you mind elaborating on why you donāt like EFIās for pressure washers? I recently had a customer specifically request an EFI engine in a custom machine Iām selling them and Iām just curious what your thoughts are on them, so I can better inform customers in the future. Thanks in advance!
My guess would be to keep things simple and easier to diagnose. Iād bet most people in the States are more familiar with carbureted small engines. When you have 5 or 6 trucks each running 2 machines each, youāre sure to run into some on-site troubleshooting at times. Labor is more expensive than fuel, so not losing time to troubleshooting is more important than using a little more gas.

That makes perfect sense, thanks so much!
Dangitt your right lol.
Just like anything else these days efi is computer controlled and need a laptop to adjust anything, Us old dogs tend to shy away from that sortta stuff.
