Hi. I was wondering if anyone knew the max rpms of a Briggs Twin Opposed engine 17 hp? I ask because I don't seem to be getting full pressure from my pump on my backhoe. I never really did from the start. It takes a little bit to break through the ground.
And also I have to bring the stick in all the way for the boom to lift a load of dirt. It does that even when empty.
I've adjusted my pressure relief valve and at least got the boom to raise up.
I don't have the money at the moment for a pressure gauge otherwise I would put one on it to see the pressure. I know the pump is pumping pretty good because I let it flow back into the tank.
I was wondering if my pump could be weak. I put a kit in it but maybe I didn't get it rebuilt right?
Or maybe this pump doesn't put out enough pressure. And I need a different pump. It has me upset because I spent $75.00 on the rebuild kit. Never again. I'll just buy another pump.
I have the engine at full throttle and it wants to try to break through the ground. But still takes a little effort.
Maybe the pump needs more rpms I don't know. So that's why I ask if anyone knows what the rpms of the Briggs 17 hp twin opposed engine is. I'd be grateful. Or even an idea of the rpms.
Thanks
