Yes, but you’ll have to be more specific than that

It’s a 688cc Honda GX630 OHV with Electric Start engine belt drive ,pulleys are set to run at 1450 rpm .
Assuming you’re wanting to go with a pump that puts out more GPM, you’re going to need a buffer tank. You should probably start by doing some research on buffer tanks & plumbing to see if it’s something you would have space for on your truck / trailer or even want to mess with. Youtube is loaded with videos of folks setting these up. Keep in mind, higher GPM’s involves a bigger tank. Hope this helps!

Lol sorry buddy , yes I want to switch the pump for more gpm Im starting pressure washing business and do house washing but i need help to see what kind of pump I can used
Put a 7gpm udor on it
But like wizard said, you’re gonna need a buffer tank
You think that the one 7.0gpm 3600 psi will work? I have a 130 tank but I can buy the 285 gallons tank
If you are determined to make it happen, you’ll find a way. Even if it takes a few tries. Do you have the plumbing lined up for your buffer tank? As far as the swap goes, who is going to be turning the bolts?

Pressure is irrelevant, gpm is the goal. General makes substandard pumps, but if you aren’t going to get a good one, the one you mentioned will work.

I (foolishly) bought a 5.5/3500 with 630 and eventually ditched the belt drive for a gear drive and TSF20201 8gpm setup.
And like William said, gpm>psi and 3000 is plenty. I honestly can’t think of any jobs where 2500 wasn’t enough.

@dcbrock Why not let the aforementioned questions be answered before offering advice with irrelevant specs? Unless you are volunteering to turn the bolts? If they are not willing to plumb a buffer tank, the problem is solved.

Innocentlydtander You are right, if you were in my position with this type of machine, what would be the ideal pump that you would put on it.
Still the same answer
