Just curious if anyone out there is running a mink pump with a gas motor.

I was curious if anyone was running the set up with Honda motors like Lapierre is selling. I am curious though how you like your pump?

Like it really well, it is quiet and great vacuum levels. We use 2 moisture traps to protect it. Did burn the motor when we had an issue with the generator getting fuel and slowing down but a local electric shop had it up and running in a couple of hours.

We had it last season with a 7kW generator. Worked really well, no issues. We are setting up a second forest this year with the exact same set up. We had to get a 3 phase converter. The generator quit on us once when it slid off the pad we had it on.
