Electric pressure washer

First off I can't stand the cheap garbage Walmart electric pressure washers. They are junk.
I bought a little project from the agg auction.
A real electric pressure washer, a 120/240v convertable 1.5hp 56C 2 pole motor on a stand with an obviously bad pump. It should do 2.2gpm at 1,500psi.
Since I have 240v 6-20 receptacles everywhere I will convert it to 240v power and buy a rebuilt general or triplex pump.
My gasoline powered pressure washer will do 2.5 at 2,500. I actually put a gauge on it. Might keep it, sometimes you just need the raw power.
2.2gpm at 1,500psi should handle most jobs.
