Without other modifications, a bigger engine won't help much. The pump output and pressure remains the same and cylinder size is fixed. I tried modifying a 5 hp unit, the boss had installed a 4 way splitter but the machine didn't have the oomph needed. I installed an 8 hp and cranked down the relief valve, good thing the ram bent before a hose blew in my face.

Well thanks for THAT bit of info, I totally forgot about needing a bigger pump for a bigger engine, would I need a bigger ram too?
Not being sarcastic, just asking in case.

Just picked up a brand new Husky 22t w/ B&S engine today. My father-in-law's girlfriend bought it for him for Christmas. I wish it was mine though but I am just storing it temporarily!

I would store it in the yard next to my unsplit log pile. If he asked, I would tell him the warranty period is running, so you figured you would help him out by seeing if it had any warranty issues. wink wink
Located due west of Due West.

I really wish I could try it out but promised to just hide it until Christmas. It sure is tempting though. Always fun to try out a new toy! :snowball:
