Hello I just purchased a Gast 2565 vacuum pump. I have pm a couple of fellow traders and there help has been great. I need to have a gas motor and want to use a single mech. releasor. I'm probably going to run a 5-7 hp engine which most run at 3600rpms. I was thinking of 2" pulley on gas and vac motors and running gas at half throttle 1800 rpms to help save gas and wear and tear on motor. I know the gast needs to run at around 1750rpms. What is the best way to check rms on a small engine or pulley??? What is the oil used in the oiler??? How many hours can you get out of the oiler before adding more oil?? I have been told by some to hook a air tank to the vacuum pump? Do I really need to do this or could I run my vac directly to the releasor?? If I need to could I use one of the walmart air tanks 5 gal for $32 how many hg" will they take?? I've read not to worry about a filter jar on the intake and nothing on the out unless it blows lots of oil. I have been trying to read threw all the threads in the past. My woman has been getting ugly by me doing so much "research" !! Thanks for any help on this..
