This thing:
]
It's a groundwater/borehole pump that works by forcing water past a non return valve on the downstroke. Because of that it can pump water from over 30 metres down, unlike normal pumps. I bought it for the Honda engine, it's the same one as on my strimmer.
What am I going to do with it? I'm not sure TBH. It has a centrifugal clutch and a linear stroke of about 125mm so could be adapted into a power saw quite easily. I don't need one of those either
Steely Dan Jr anyone?
