Hello all,
I have recentlly started building a forging press and finally got it up and running. I am using a gas motor. A honda 190 which is rated a 5.5hp 3600rpm . I have selected a 0.55 cubic inch pump that equates to about 8.1gpm. Its a single stage pump.
What I have been noticed is anything more than unloaded movement will stall out the motor. I have adjusted my pressure regulator pretty much as low as it can go. I cant even smash a pine 2x4.
I just wanted to get your general opinion on things to check before I need to invest in another motor.
Thank you for your suggestions..
