The problem i had was the pump was rated for 1800-2000 rpm max if that. The engine turns double that. Pump cavitated real bad. So I found a 3 speed transmission to gear down the new pump and keep the rpms on the engine up. The transmission is not for the cart.
Its a crude way to gauge hp but it works. Mainly to load during break in.
