Never a good idea to run a pressure washer without water connected to the pump, this is what lubricates it.
@dreechino34927 күн бұрын
You're wrong oil is what lubricates the engine the water is just an add on piece

@dreechino3492 I’m well aware of how oil works.

mines cut off in 3-5 seconds when i pull the trigger, how can i fix it ?
@pilgrimsgarage Жыл бұрын
It sounds like you’re losing prime. I would start with checking your pressure hose and make sure it’s tight on the pump and on the gun. If those are not leaking then I’d check your hose from the house. Sometimes the pump is more powerful then your supply from the house. I have a well and it has pretty good pressure but my friend that I got it from also had a well and it couldn’t keep up with the demand the pressure washer needs. The way to remedy that is check your hose to make sure it doesn’t have any kinks and that it’s flowing well. Keep me informed with your results please.

Hello i have one of this same model.. but its leaking gas from the cap... I check the gasket and is good... any advice?
@pilgrimsgarage2 ай бұрын
@@thegermany30 that sounds like it would need a new cap? I’m not sure without looking at it. It could have a small crack in it. Fuel is very thin and can find even the smallest hole to come through. That’s is about the best I can say to try.

Haven’t needed a new pump and I use it pretty consistently. You can run them without water for a little while… no harm will happen.

Great video. I have a 2500 psi Generac pressure washer and the spring on mine also came detached from both ends. Any chance you could show or explain where the spring ends should be attached? I'll also email you. Thanks!

I have the same power washer, last year I had to tear it CD apart clean everything before it would run. Now again after following all the recommendations in storage, once again it’s nit starting. Of course once I use it, it’s out away for 11 months 😂. Hate that machine, I want to get an electric one. I just don’t use it, my wife likes a clean house.

I totally get it. I like the gas powered ones because they’re more powerful but the electric ones are so much more reliable.

Not really, he forgot to turn the fuel off and over the winter it leaked all the fuel into the crankcase and hydro locked it. It didn’t bend anything so it is good. I literally used it this last weekend and it’s awesome

Well, he told me it was locked up when he tried to start it. It turned over for me so I thought I’d see if there was any damage done to the engine if it had truly hydro locked. As you can see it was not by the camera. That little thing is super handy to look before you leap. I do appreciate the input though, truly I do.
