Hey guys, I’m currently running a 5.5 gpm belt drive with a northstar pump and gx390. I’m looking to upgrade to a gx690 and a udor pump, specifically this one, unless there is a better option: Udor GKC (CKC) 30/24-GR Plunger Pump – Sprayer Depot
I also plan to get this engine: (EDIT, new link) Honda GX690 TXA2 Horizontal V-Twin Engine | Equipatron
I am fairly sure most gx690s have a 1" drive but I was unsure about the skid?/mount that I could order/make to have the setup mounted to.
Just looking for advice on how to go about putting this together(correct pump/engine combo and mount) or if something else entirely would be better. I plan to run a 1" or 1-1/2" hose to it. I have the biggest job I have ever taken on coming up and while I have given myself 2 weeks to complete it I figured now is a good time to upgrade.
Thanks you!

Hey 
You said a GX690, but your link is to a GX630 
Have a read of this post, it would be a shame to buy something now and then the new model comes out next week sort of thing…
Oops it was pretty late when I made this, my bad!
Thanks for the heads up, any idea when those are supposed to be available? I am looking to get this ordered within a week or so since I would need it by mid april.
