Great video! Fixed the same pressure washer that someone put on the sidewalk with a take me free sign. Cleaned carb and changed oil runs fantastic.

[@czarguzman2927]

This is a great step by step video on how to carb clean and oil maintenance on pressure washer. Video and audio is sharp and clear. Thanks for your vital information and for taking the time to demonstrate.

I just bought a Craftsman pressure washer with the same engine at an auction $50. It has a full tank of gas and the oil looks very dark, not sure if that’s okay or not, only seen vehicle oil, but I wanted to try to give it a tuneup before trying to start it. I don’t know where that hare-brain idea came from, but I am woman, let’s see if I can meow my way through this. Terrified but looks like a wonderfully detailed and thorough video! Wish me luck, please!

Dude nice video, like the use of the shut off valve on the fuel line while you worked on the engine. Maybe a future video on winterizing a 4 stroke pressure washer would be good for the Eliminators that live in cold weather areas since there are lots of pressure washers for sale with cracked pumps.

Thanks for the detailed video. I had the same situation with the jet nut gasket which was broken. Can you tell me the replacement part number so I can find it? Seems to be different ones available and I just don't want to guess. For the moment I'm using a piece of cardboard to avoid the gas to leak but I wish to replace it anyway.

[@jorgegaj6236]

Fantastic video. I have a Quantum gold 6.0 pressure washer that sat in my garage for 5 years. I'm replacing the carburator, the filter, and the spark plug. How do you best clean the gasoline tank? any other suggestions ? many thanks

[@HectorGarcia-vu9pn]

Do you have a video on how to replace the rubber feet?

[@DestinyA83]

Thanks a ton!! Was able to get mine back up and running. The carb was horrible. The spring was missing but I don't know how (the one that you said to be careful not to let it detach) I bought a generic one and used it and it is working but I am not sure if it is connected to the right spot. But it is working so oh well I guess lol

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Glad to hear it's working, thanks for watching!

[@duellcollins7989]

I wanted to ask you a question man about this particular model. I noticed the pump has a air hose attachment. What is that for?

[@donvoll2580]

Good day I just came across this video. You know canadian tire sells a funnel or did, that will separate water from gas, it's tricky but it will keep fine dirt out. Thanks

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Yes, water settles to the bottom so it's possible to suck the fuel out from the top. For the price of fuel, and labour if I had to redo my work, we just replace the fuel.

I have a craftmen 7.0 ohv and I changed the oil and put to much in it and went to drain some out from the drain plug and not oil comes out...? Any thoughts on what's going on.

[@boreed5734]

Mine is running a little rough after sitting for a few years. I didn't take the carburetor completely loose but I took off the bowl, cleaned it, replaced the fuel tank which was cracked, cleaned spark plug, installed new filter. But it still running a little rough. I sprayed what I could but I'm wondering if the carburetor still has some residue left inside it keeping it from running smoothly. And yes, the gas smelled of turpentine and was yellow. What are your suggestions?

[@jerrykegel2678]

What part # covers the bowl gasket and the robber Orin's on the intake?

[@EliminatorPerformance]

[@michaeljude1965]

Is there a common replacement for the bowl nut gasket? hose things are expensive . I am wondering if there is a fibre washer that works as good, and what size to order? I have even heard old milk jugs work ok, but a lot of work :)

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Cereal box would work too if you were in a pinch. Here is the official part # : 271716 It's a common part for Briggs and Stratton and Toro machines.

[@dwwd156]

It's actually not a "air vane governor". The actual governor is mechanical, the linkage goes toward the other end of the engine. All that air vane does is control the choke through a thermostat attached to the muffler. Great vid.

[@mrlastname3065]

I just bought the exact pressure washer. What would make gas pour out of the hose that connects to the back of the air filter housing? The gas line hooks to the carb. This other hose comes from who knows where, but pours gas out of it when I pour gas Into the tank.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

You probably have a leaking needle valve in the carburetor

[@rickmarti9797]

Just want to add when you spray carb cleaner into carb be sure to wear safety glasses. The spray can bounce back into your eyes.

[@Angelotiangel]

Hi Is a 2000 psi 1.9 gmp powerful enough to clean a concrete driveway? Tx

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Not if you want to get it down to bare concrete, you'll find yourself going over spots you already cleaned. I'd recommend something more powerful, a 2500psi or more.

[@Angelotiangel]

Ok Thank you for your advise Have a nice day

[@samuelvelez1643]

It won't hurt having an extra fuel filter between the fuel tank and the carburetor... Just for extra insurance

[@georgesanchez9971]

I would add a fuel filter and a shut-off valve. Always remember that some carburetors have a special metal coating that prevents rusting. I would think twice about using harsh chemicals.

[@hammer5859]

I have the same model and it's leaking a little water from the pump on the left side if your facing it.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

If you live in an area where it gets cold in the winter, and didn't store it in a warm area, you may have a crack in the pump. Water inside will freeze and expand, and crack the aluminum or plastic housing.

[@hammer5859]

I'm in southe California I was thinking it might be an o ring just was wondering if that's normal for this model I just bought it used.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

@@hammer5859 I'm not to sure to be honest, I worked on this for a customer of mine, just needed a tune up and didn't leak. It's possible that one of the o-rings have gone, go to www.ereplacementparts.com and type in your model number. You should be able to get a good diagram.

getting water thru the SYSTEM but looks like the gun won't allow water thru it, how difficult is it to find one, and what do they run, as in cost? I own a Briggs and Stratton I own a troy bit 175cc 7.75hp 2700PSI engine year is built in 2013. thank you. looks like the GUN has about five philips screw heads in it, is it rebuildable?

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Take the line apart and run some compressor air through it to make sure there's no clogs..Also, take off the end fitting if possible, if not, let the tip sit in some CLR over night to remove any calcium deposits! Hope this helps

[@lecyalphamaids9134]

[EDITED-I will take that tip off, and I have a air compressor so i will be using that for what you suggested, need to buy some CLR though, don't think i have any of that, i know what it though, also, the AIRFILTER is dirty, it is the spongy thing attached to the CARB, right? ALSO, i bought a new CARB for it, and this new one has an inline gas filter that the old one didn't have, so i will be adding that, thank you for all of your help, you are awesome.]

[@lecyalphamaids9134]

Got it, running and all, could not do it without you brother, hope ya don't mind me saying that. BRAND NEW CARB, after turning the water on, and trying to start it, it started and the GUN and tip all work fine, it is awesome feeling when that thing cranks, aint it? i think it is. got a new air filter also, and also an inline GAS FILTER, [that came with the new CARB. HEYA EVERYONE, i strongly say to you all, get a new CARB instead of trying to clean the old one, leave it be until you get it all going, it will be much easier, on your stress level and all, please believe me. Then after you get it all going then go after the old CARB if anything you'll have it when you need to deal with this issue again, just swap it all out then again clean the CARB. and don't forget the SPARK PLUG, if dirty, just get a clean new one, cost aint all that bad. good luck everyone, and please join this youtube VIDEO, i think he deserves your support, and an awesome big thank you to, Eliminator Performance for making that video and for helping me and all of us out here!
