I read all the posts about GX160 cranks. A guy contacted me wanting to sell the engine off his pressure washer. It is a pretty long way from me, so I want to be sure it will work, or can be made to work so I know how much to pay. I read that most pressure washers had a straight shaft, but it might not be long enough, or some had tapered shafts. Would the seller be able to tell what the shaft is like with the pump still on the engine? He's probably not willing to take the pump off to see. Thanks for any advice on this situation.
