Is the pump on these the variable timming type that allows various throttle positions? so it will work with a gear change transmission. The pump reminds me of the Bosch units on cars and trucks.

I understand some of the static industrial pumps are tuned for a small range, like 3000 rpm so work better with CVT and are naisy/smoke at idle, just off idle.

Since it is out of a large ATV (RTV) then it must have a variable throttle since these rigs (Kawasaki Mule) drive and ride like a small 4wd vehicle.

yup, I contacted the seller. Been doing google research. Guess we will find out next week if I'm gonna be doing a 3cyl KawaDaihatsu build.

Yea, that does look like a Bosch VE as on our VWs. Good luck with your bid!

need to go find another computer... ebay is wanting to lock up on my laptop here. ggggrrr

did find out info on the Kawasaki/daihatsu cranks breaking when too much shock/side load is applied. Was a common problem in the early mules. Fix is to replace with crank out of turbo diahatsu 3 cyl. Now that it has the turbo crank... wonder if it could take the presure from a supercharger on it?

guess my concerns about side loading a crank are valid after all. On a motorcycle I supose you would spin the rear wheel before the crank gets too much loading
