How to Replace the Pump on a Pressure Washer--A Quick Fix

[@lounicosia6596]

Thanks for taking the time to post this video. I had the same problem and simply took the thermal relief valve out and wrapped some Teflon tape around the seal and good as new. I didn't even take the pump off, I tilted the machine and was able to reach it. Thanks again I hope this post helps others too.

[@FIXTechGuides]

thanks for watching! check out the video description for details on how you can get the part you need.

[@falleneagle1969]

hello, mark it seems to be that you put the new pressure washer pump backwards, did you notice that?

[@ramonpeters9608]

I'm trying to replace my horizontal pump. I unscrewed the four screws, but it's still on there and I can't get it off. What's going on?

[@robcburton1]

I think the tape wrap is correct. If you go the other way it could unwrap when screwing in.

[@glenharold6004]

I have a Husky GCV 160, 2600psi pressure washer very similar to the Homelite in the video. The pump on mine is broken, will the Homelite pump work on the Husky? Edit: also if I buy a pump, does it need to be 2600 psi? Or will something like a 2800psi pump work fine?

[@josephv5170]

Hi I removed the three bolts like you did but unlike your video my pump didn't drop right down? Should I pry it or is this going to break something else? I have a B&S motor on a Craftsman power washer. Thanks..joe

[@falleneagle1969]

those water pumps look the same but if you look carefully are completely different, the position of the legs are different, that's why the new water pump is facing backwards

[@FIXTechGuides]

The new pump was slightly different. Most manufactures of of "Home Center" pressure washers simply take an engine from one source, a pump from another, and bolt them to a frame that they produce. Because of this outsourcing a replacement pump isn't always exactly the same as the original as the manufacture is always shopping for the best price they can get on the pump. Thanks, -Mark

[@a002074t]

You said 'homelite', but the machine has 'Husky' written all over it :-) Great videos BTW

[@dog2bert]

What does the relief valve do? Is it different than the unloader valve?

[@MrZavala81]

good video i have the same husky pressure washer and mine is acting up i bought it 3years ago no problems till today it has no pressure i checked the hose and any filters but still no pressure if i leave it running then i go hit the trigger it will shoot out then back to a normal water flow HELP thanks again

[@paulmercado2313]

Any help on getting my pump to come off, the bolts are removed, but seems to hang up. Maybe pry the key on the shaft? Some kinda gear pulley concept? Sledgehammer? Help!

[@FIXTechGuides]

Your not far off with the sledge hammer idea. Sometimes moisture corrodes the shaft and makes these difficult to remove. I would get something like WD-40 and try to get some on the shaft and let is soak. I have 3 pry bars I use in this case. One you get the pump to bust lose it should easily come off.

[@Ising4ne1]

I have done with the same exact pressure washer. Once back together I realized the crank oil seal was bad, I have a new seal put on, but should there be a flange or washer to hold the oil seal in place before I put the pump back on?

[@FIXTechGuides]

The oil seal is pressed into the pump. There is not a washer that holds it in place. Just a reminder to check your oil. I'd hate to have it be out of oil due to the worn seal.

[@chrisflair9596]

do you carry replacement pumps for electrical water pressures if you do do you carry one for sun Joe pressure washer

[@FIXTechGuides]

There are a few pumps Karcher offers for some of their Electric Pressure Washers. We don't show any parts at all for the Sun Products.

[@timclaseman5809]

My Homelite 2700 won't produce any pressure. Changing the pump didn't make any difference. Could it be the thermal release valve? That's the only part left to replace?

[@UndeadWarTurnip]

There was oil that leaked out when I removed my old pump, Is there oil that I need to add somewhere?

[@UndeadWarTurnip]

Jeff Wiersema it wasn't a lot of oil either

[@starlitstef]

its says on the pump Use SAE 85W90 do you need to put the oil in & how much?

[@DRG3824]

The pump should be a sealed unit from the factory. If not, just look in your owners manual.

[@lbgeorge5170]

[@cgm010]

Where can I purchase a replacement pump on the Web. Thank you. Gary Miyamoto

[@MrSmokercraft16]

Is there a way to repair or replace parts/valves instead of relacing the whole thing/

[@georgeakensiv9695]

Does the pressure valve come with a new pump ??

[@FIXTechGuides]

Typically it does not, but if you send over the model number of your pressure washer I can double check that for you!

[@BryanHernandez-kv6gr]

the part that u needed to transfer what is it called ?

[@twodrbenz]

Do you have to add oil to the new pump?

[@FIXTechGuides]

The Ridgid, Ryobi, Homelite pumps similar to the pump in the video ship from the manufacturers with the oil in them.

[@maddog380]

How can I tell if my pumps bad? It was washing fine but it started cutting off and on and then just a stream of water. Is it the pump??

[@DRG3824]

The pump is bad. Don't mess with parts because it will only last about another year. Amazon and ebay have great prices on replacement pumps.

[@maddog380]

THANKS! Your right it was the pump, I bought a new one on eBay and it works fine now!

[@josebaeza2122]

Cool!!

[@belfrey7882]

Looks like you replaced the pump backwards with the water outlet from the pump on the rear of the washer; whereas in the beginning of the video, the water outlet is positioned on the front of the washer.

[@duartepaintinghandymanservices]

Looks like you are right lol

[@ronaldlewis6612]

Any Person maybe you need to look again.

[@kenmoelhoff3122]

Sam Sweeney - He wrapped the tape correctly.

[@TwistedIntentions79]

looks like a differnt pump

[@michaelavant2444]

I have watched this video and it does n"t show how to replace the pump when the old pump is rusted on the shaft. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!

[@bgun2005]

michael avant : You can use w40 spray on it, leave it there of a few hours then take it out!

[@eruc022687]

hello can you please tell me where can I find rebuild kit for my pump? Is a Generac 2700 psi/2.3GPM 186BAR/8.7LPM Pump model is RMV 2.2G24 Thanks

[@FIXTechGuides]

We don't have a listing for any of the internal parts for these smaller pumps. I've checked other vendors and Annovi Reverberi who manufactures these and haven't been able to locate anything.

[@edwardm5892]

I purchased this pressure washer and after about 3 times i used it,it quit. It had no compression. Took it to warranty shop at northern tools in conroe , texas and was told i had run it out of oil and was not warranty. Motor had oil in it.I showed it to tech. Another service tech asked if when i was using it was it sitting on a hill. I said yard is sloped. I said doesnt motor have a shut off if it is not getting oil. Tech said no. Honda will not warranty it and Home depot told me its not their proplemn. Nothing in the manual mentions this about the ground. What is more irritating is Home depot blew me off and tech at Northern tools would not even try for warranty. My question to honda. If iam pressure washing and motor stops running do to oil leak or sitting on a hill side, how am i suppose to know without a warning system. I did email Honda and got no responce.

[@FIXTechGuides]

+Edward M I'm sorry to hear about the problems you've had with your Honda Engine. Your Service Center and Home Depot are correct in saying the warranty doesn't cover damage due to a low or no oil in the crankcase. We have the same rules with warranties here. Honda engines are equipped with the low oil sensor that will cut the spark before damage is done to the engine. This system is very effective unless as it sounds happened to you, the motor is operated on an angle so the sensor reads a false oil level. I wish I had the perfect resolution but I don't.

OW CAN IFIND ANEW PUMP

[@bryncomeaux]

they dont make the frame either

[@samsweeney6923]

You wrapped the teflon tape backwards

[@robertrichardson4806]

He wrapped the tape in the wrong direction.

[@roblucas6097]

no he didnt. he wrapped it on counter clockwise so it doesnt come off when he screws the valve back in (clockwise)
