Still looking since thats half the fun!
Im sure anything is possible with enough money. I would like to convert my pressure washer w/ 13hp honda GX engine into a dual use machine.
Im thinking take the pressure washer pump off, then using the engine to power a generator by bolting up the generator parts.

The engine is a horizontal shaft, Ill try to find exact specs like serial number and shaft length.

Anyone with knowledge please respond.

Thanks

Just an idea but you maybe able to use the water in a closed loop to spin a typically hydraulic generator. You could possibly even try running oil in it instead.

Ariens used to sell a Motor-based unit that could be a rototiller, a generator, a compressor, etc. depending on what you attached. Just pick a standard shaft coupling and mounting system and you're in business.
