Was perusing CL today and happened upon a little 1" water pump for $80. It has a Honda GX31 engine on it, I ended up paying $50.00 for it, figured it was worth the money. It had no gasoline in it, put some fresh gas in her and it fired right up and idled nice. I pulled the pump assembly apart and cleaned it out.

Very nice find. Those little pumps are expensive. I have been looking for one to use with my water storage tank to use with the greenhouse.

A steal. We have a 3/4" Honda-pump on our VFD squad truck. It doesn't see much use but it always starts easily when we do equipment checks.

The best part was the seller was just over a mile from my house. I have to pick up a 1" suction line for it, anxious to try it out.

Nice score. We use pumps like that for making syrup, though we use fresh-water pumps and don't buy them used from other applications. Honda is well known in the syrup world as being top of the line for pumps and generators.

Well? Did it work?

I'll bet he's busy cleaning off that work bench......:shocked:

I'll take that piece of junk off your hands for $65 :D
Kidding aside, great deal on a good pump.

Well I picked up a 1-1/2" strainer, reduced it to 1" and made up a 1" suction line and brought the little pump down to the pond to run her.

I initially tried a 5 gallon bucket with an outside faucet running into it, but the pump was a little too fast for it.

I think this little pump will fit the bill perfectly for me.
