well if you're gonna resurect an old thread, i'll post the update i promised on how that pump works out for me
it worked great for a couple months, then it sucked up a bit of gunk and that seemed to kill it. it now spins easily when dry, but when it has oil in it, it limits itself to about 80RPM. of course, thats slow enough to fry just about any motor i put against it, i even tried adding a drill motor to the motor thats mounted to it, and got nowhere.
so i pulled the pump apart, found a few chunks of foreign matter inside, cleaned it out and reassembled it, same story. now its collecting dust on the back table.
so i bought harbor freight's orange "heavy duty" drill mounted pump, and i can't get it to lift water 3 inches, so its collecting dust too.
what harbor freight model did you find? got an item number i can look up, or a pic of it?
