over spinning a pump

[bears]

I have a general T9731 pump rated for 2.85gpm @1,000psi. I am wanting to put a different size pulley on it and run 4+ gpm at 200 psi. Has anybody tried something like this before?

 

[Russ Johnson]

I wouldn't. To get 4 gpm, the pump would have to spin at 2450 rpms. It'd probably come unglued.

Russ your probably right. But I think I might try it anyways because I just don't have a use for a 2.85gpm at 1,000psi pump.

make sure you use synthetic oil to keep it cool,
and dual-feed it with 5/8"lines.
