It runs, Probably not an optimized component pair, but it does work.
Output appears slightly greater than typical electric pressure washers, however I'm still tuning the bypass valve (which is still sticking from years and years or rusting away).
To high and it will throw my 20 amp breaker, to low, and it is fairly useless. The breaker throws mainly when you release the handle / valve and the pump loads the motor very heavily until the valve pops all the way open.
I'd like to get a pressure washer (pressure) gauge so I had some idea of what was going on.
Much quieter than a gasoline pressure washer, but still rather noisy, the pump itself appears to be making the noise. this may resolve itself when I switch from motor oil to pump oil (soon).
I used it for about 1 hour washing away, I don't see any reason that once the bypass is tuned it will not run forever.
Powers up my homedepot foam cannon (with $4.99/ gallon Rain X foamy car wash) just as well as my Gasoline unit does with the official soap.
