Chinese Honda ripoffs, there are good and bad, just depends on the luck of the draw. I have seen them on firefighting pumps work well and then heard of others who have had nothing but trouble and scrapped them. Just make sure you buy from a shop and get warranty and you should be OK.

I got a 6.5hp pump , fantastic pump , puts out about a thousand litres a minute , I have not got mine setup properly yet , my inlet and outlet pipes are too small at the moment , it is still putting out about 250 litres though , starts first pull most times , especially if I remember to turn the switch on first
. Cheers MM

You may be throwing money away if you don't need the horses.
I'm running the 11Hp on a 17gal pump and could of gotten away with a smaller one as mine rearly runs at 1/2 throttle.
