Pressure washer failure. No pressure. What happened here?

[@steveriggenbach90]

Have a great Christmas

[@randomwrenching]

You too!

[@mikejerrett7354]

Yup just as well to scrap it, like you said the repair is more than a new one. That Toro behind is going to make an interesting video 😊

[@randomwrenching]

Yep, that Toro was a little different to work on. Lol

[@mikejerrett7354]

@randomwrenching hahaha yea I figured 🤣

[@themowerman]

Ta for the video mate

[@randomwrenching]

Thanks for watching Mick!

[@downeastoutdoors8713]

I own and older mit-m pressure washer it has a gx200 honda on it thing is like brand new. I rarely use it but believe its a work pro or something like that, i put pump saver in it every year just to protect the pump. Pump on this one is probably more than the entire unit it would not suprise me. Great video

[@randomwrenching]

Thanks for watching! They are decent units, but this one was misused. He let it run with the garden hose hooked up, but not flowing through the pump. Overheated and cooked it.

[@downeastoutdoors8713]

@@randomwrenching yeah that's not good at all. I just believe most homeowners don't understand how they work

[@downeastoutdoors8713]

@@randomwrenching you can run it without circulation but don't do it for long because like you said it will definitely overheat

[@randomwrenching]

This guy absolutely ran it way too long without the trigger pulled, he told me how he was using it.

Merry Xmas☃

[@randomwrenching]

Thanks Rusty, same to you

[@Rein_Ciarfella]

How often does one of these units come in and the engine is blown instead of the pump? I’m guessing pretty rarely.

[@randomwrenching]

Always a bad pump, never had a bad engine on one.

[@len4338]

Well that was just too quick,,,, I haven't even finished my coffee yet,,,,,, lol . Hopefully your customer will donate the engine and cart, maybe it will come in handy for an engine swap or parts.

[@Rein_Ciarfella]

I can pretty much predict the response. “Can you use the engine? Then will that cover your time to diagnose? Great!” 😉🔧👍

[@randomwrenching]

Yep, all the time. And no, I never take them up on that offer. These engines only work for pressure washers, the crank is shorter...

[@donvoll2580]

Good day RW I keep forgetting ur 1st name LOL Anyways why is that , price of pump higher than whole unit?? Something has to change & will the way things are going. Thanks Merry Christmas & healthy happy new year to u & yours.

[@randomwrenching]

Sometimes a unit on sale or clearance is cheaper than a pump plus labor. You probably shouldn't be forgetting my name, as its the same as yours! lol Best of the holidays to you and yours.

[@donvoll2580]

@@randomwrenching Yes I knew that ,I didn't know if u wanted for me to use Thanks

[@steveriggenbach90]

Any idea about what happened. Did the pump turn? Did it seize?
