When mine failed to start, I replaced both the air filter and spark plug and it started right up without issue. Old spark plug was scorched and the engine would backfire when pulling the starter cord, indicating an ignition issue. Was a simple and inexpensive repair for a second hand unit I bought for a few hundred bucks.
Great video...now I know how to remove and clean the carb on this pw. I have the same pw and it starts and runs ok, my problem is it does not reach max pressure consistently. I know this because i was using it to remove the oxidation from my plastic shutters and when it running at full power it removed it but then loses a little power and does not remove it as well. Any ideas on why could be the problem ? Thanks.
Could be that the pump seals are becoming worn. Hard to tell without it in front of me but cleaning the carburetor is never a bad idea. Keep me updated!
Hey been looking all day trying to find one like mine good jib my friend. My son in law used mine and now it won't start I think there was water in the gas so I drained the gas and took the bowl off and cleaned put new gas in it didn't help let it sit over night and pulled on it and it almost started so I hooked up the water and could not get it to do anything tried starting fluid and nothing I guess I will pull the carburetor and clean the jets. You got any ideas. Thank you for the great video I thought it was very good.
11:45 Os that your personal lawn tractor? If so you better watch out, you have it equipped with a kohler bucket engine and those things have A LOT of problems.
Wow Briggs+ Stratton are now bolting on carbs using torx …it looked like there was a 6 point for a socket but how long till that’s gone and only a torx bit can loosen it !!. Nevertheless nice video Chris .
i got the same pressure washer in this video its starts stays running until i hit the trigger for the water as soon as i do my pressure washer dies out...
Friend, I have a problem with my pressure washer, it turns on fine, but it speeds up and slows down on its own, it started to fail when I transported it from one place to another, but I was lying horizontally, can you please help me.
LOL you kind of scared me when you was spraying off your mower I thought oh man he's going to get water in places he shouldn't because those power washers can ruin maybe not ruined but damage things like a tractor or engines I just thought you was holding it off on close..... Hopefully your tractor started up and everything but good video I will try that on mine
@@MrArapahoe it might be a choke issue. These have something called auto-choke which keep the choke plate permanently closed. Once it starts up, there is a coil on the muffler that expands while it heats up, this slowly opens the choke (usually fully open after a minute or two). Sounds like your choke plate might be stuck open causing it to start then die right away. Just a guess but something to look for
He's back... AND Better then ever.
Thank you Rich! Hope you have been enjoying this Michigan sun as much as I have 😎
I have this exact machine with these exact symptoms. Thank you!
CHRIS! Dayum’ glad to see you back!
Thank you Fred!! 😎

The auto choke wasn't for the customer, it was done on a mandate from the EPA
Interesting

Silly question but does it have gas and is the spark plug wire connected?
Great video!! Quick question… mine runs well, but when I turn off the PW sounds like a load gunshot.. do you know whats causing that
Built up pressure. It’s normal. You can turn it off while spraying. That will eliminate the pressure build up. I do it sometimes.
You are awesome! Thank you.
Thank you Joe! 🤝

It is not. Was a project I picked up. And lol yes. I’m very aware of the issues those kohlers have 😬
@@ChrisXOutdoors good
How do I get spark plug for this machine? I have the exact same one without a spark plug in it.
Most hardware stores sell them. As well as auto stores.
He has returned! My favorite home mechanic! Oh and I heard you say Dino juice, do you watch taryl fixes all?
I’ve seen some of Taryls videos but didn’t know he said done juice also.. maybe that’s where I heard it 🤔😂
Great vid Chris!
Thank you Josh! Hope you and the fam had a great 4th of July weekend 💪🏼
We did brother, hope y’all did too! By the way, there are 4 quarts in a gallon. So a quart is indeed a quarter of a gallon! 😆
lol I always knew there were 4.. I just never put it together in my head like that 😬😂

Its so funny you mention that. Watching it back now, I didn't even realize it could have been backed out with a socket lol. Glad you enjoyed!
An “Allen” or hex head will take a Torx off most times.
I’m gonna try that next time 😂
@@ChrisXOutdoors,
👍😊

Sounds like the pump is bad 🫤
Pump failed or seized up
I thought you was holding it awful close is what I meant to say

Retire el carburador y límpielo a fondo. Parece que algo sucedió cuando fue transportado. ¡Limpiar el carburador es un buen comienzo!
@@ChrisXOutdoors intentaré con eso, gracias .

Started right up after I blew it off with some compressed air. I clean them like that all the time.. dozens. Never had any issues!
So upset did the same shit, still didn’t start up
Could be something spark related?
@@ChrisXOutdoors thanks for the reply
I have one of these & ready to throw it over the hill!🥺
Not running right?
Won't start......carb cleaned.....tank flushed,..fresh non -ethenol fuel...Has spark...
I replaced my carburetor and it still starts and stops 1 sec later.
Was it an Amazon/Chinese $20 carb? Or an OEM?
@@ChrisXOutdoors OEM replacement part.
@@MrArapahoe do you see any adjustment screws?
@@ChrisXOutdoors not that I see… but all new to me so I may be overlooking it
