That usually means your pressure setting nut (17 mm) is cranked down to tight and engine doesn’t have enough horsepower to make that kind of pressure so the engine dies. Or one of the ports that allow pressure control is plugged up b
Thanks Corey....My Simpson was working fine today. athen after taking a break .... no pressure. I found your video and another. My "plunger" was not stuck and was going and forth just fine. not sure what to do next, could that little ball baring in your illustration be stuck in the "no pressure" position? Thanks for video and input C.
I suppose it’s possible that the ball is stuck in some scale, but not very likely. The only way to know for sure is to take apart the unloader valve as shown in the video and look in past that cage and see if the ball is free. If it’s not, soak it in some vinegar to dissolve the scale.
@@AK907dude I removed the valave and it moves like it should, Lubed it and put it back in. When I hook up the water it will not flow through the machine??? like something is stuck? any other suggestion?
Water typically flows through the pump freely. Something is obviously plugged up. I don’t know what it could be. If it was me I would remove various threaded plugs and blow compressed air through them.
I did the same thing yrs ago putting in a open box Kenwood Cassette stereo from Circuit City for someone in a 1994 Ford Explorer it had a blue wire i thought it was not needed but the factory radio had a factory amp. at first there was no sound so i thought the radio was bad but it was just that the speakers went thru the amp first. this was in the late 90's when was about 15 or 16.
This design is flawed from the beginning. They’re only good for 300 hours or so for the DIY. Can’t someone design a more efficient pump using the Tesla type motors, instead of gasoline, and utilize precision engineering of a water pump, as opposed to the cheap products from China.
Perhaps I missed it but, I still I need to know how to adjust the unloader valve. How many turns on that number 17 nut do I turn without an actual measurement gauge.
Thank you very much. I found out I had the plugs backwards to start with then I touched those two wires together and boom it works great! Much appreciated saved me money and stress!
I run a pressure washer 8 hours a day 5 days a week and use salt water in the machine ,i ended up putting a screw in sacraficial anode in a t piece befere the pump making things last a bit longer ,plus a bigger inline filter ,then a good quality turbo nozzle and make sure i have a good water supply but its still something that every oil change i pull the valve apart soak it in rust converter for a little bit and get the calcium build up off and any rust and put it back together ,with the vavle working correctly its a easy day ,and when its not working properly its a slow painfull day ,some times u can run a little rust converter thru and it comes good but too much rust converter for too long can damage things so good vidio , it helps to get your head around the unloader by having it cut away like u did cheers
I've been having the opposite issue- the flow never bypasses. I can let go of the trigger and flow will stop, but the pump is immediately scorching hot and the engine is still under load at all times. Unloaded needle/plunger is free, everything is spotless.
