All,
I have a horizontal small engine on a vibratory plate compactor, well it's beyond tired. Little to no compression, and did not want to re-build it if I didn't need to.
I have a gc160 Honda small engine from a pressure washer. I was hoping to use this engine as a replacement, but the governor is a constant speed style, once the engine is running, it stays at that speed.
I need to be able to idle the engine, then throttle t up to get the compactor...uh...compacting?!
Is it worth my while to try? OR is the existing compactor engine the way to go? By the way, the original compactor engine was replaced before my time, so what I've got is a retrofit to begin with.
Thanks for those in the know,
D.
