Forget an extension, it won't live. Your best bet is a power washer engine.

I've got a Honda gcv160 off of a troy bilt pressure washer, low hours, the pump froze. If you're interested. If it will fit.

My replacement engine is a pressure washer engine, but the shaft is about 1.5 inches too short.

Can you add a pair of Lovejoy couplings?

Is there a way to lengthen the shaft? The replacement engine has a shaft that is 1 3/8 inches shorter. Is there a way to use this engine with a shorter shaft?

Why won't the Lovejoy coupling work?

Take a look at the photo. Lengthening shafts is not their intended purpose but in your case it's a fringe benefit.

CALL Lovejoy and ask them if they make a coupling that will solve your problem.lovejoy-l-090-78-std-316-332-kw-hub.jpg
