[QUOTE="elrodeo, post: 7557, member: 190"] So managed to get Honda GXH50 4 stroke 2.5 hp with Aussie Pump QP154SX for $350 . Pump was used but has had only been run for a couple of hrs of running and is in mint condition so pretty happy as unit is around 10kg so well and truly back packable and 210 litres p/min, 60 metre head and will self prim to 8metres. Should be fine as highbanker only needs to run around 50gpm (US) If it needs more flow I'll grab this water pump [url]http://www.keeneeng.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=P90&Category_Code=DMP[/url] and swap pumps. Keene use the GXH50 as their motor so its a direct bolt on. So want to do a preventative oil change so what oil do people recommend. Honda manual says use 10w-30w 4 stroke but manual is a US manual. Also what unleaded do people use on their Honda pumps. I would have thought premium would be the best fuel for longevity as higher octane has less contaminants and additives (blends) . Anyway thanks for any info. [/QUOTE]
