Hey guys I picked this old pump up awhile , its a champion R30. Im going to restore it since it looks like a nice pump. I have been searching forever on the net tring to find a model like this, all the R30 pumps I see dont have a manifold like this one does on the bottom, what year is this thing? also I know its big pump, and I have a true 5hp baldor motor, what rpm should I run this at? oh, one last question, how can I test it to make sure its pumping well..I put my hand on one side outlet tube and its pumping alot, I put it on another side and its not pumping as much as the one side.
