And either this electric motor http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=96403
or this gas motor http://surpluscenter.com/item.asp?UID=2007111213125163&item=28-1594&catname=engines
The guy's at Williams machine told me if I run it @ 3.6 GPM I would need a 5HP motor. Is this too much GPM?? Should I step down to say 1-2 GPM ??
