You are probably here because your pressure washer won't start. I had the same issue and my neighbor Joe, who is a wizard with engine repair, helped me diagnose the problem and resolve it. Joe went through many of the things he normally looks for when an engine won't start. This is a Troy Bilt 2800 PSI pressure washer model number 020568 with a Briggs and Stratton engine. The same diagnosis will probably work with your pressure washer, lawn mower, generator with a Briggs and Stratton engine. It may even work if it has a different engine. I know it worked for me on two other occasions.

@BigDsHomestead 4 года назад

Never, never, never start and run these without attatching a wster hose to it. It can destroy your pump. This guy is suppise to be anexpert, but didn't realize one of the simplest things. The water acts as a lubricant and well, for the pump. Mine has done this 2 times. There is z design flaw in it. When tipped a little too much the oil gets in the gas. I took it to a certified small engine repair person whom explained this to me. Lowes doesn't sell these any more. I wander why?!?

@williamgault2549 4 года назад

The cleaning of the the bowl plug and getting the bowl to seat properly is all one has to do to get the engine to start and keep running. Just crimp off the fuel line. Tilt the washer on to its back to get at the bowl easier. Remove plug, blow out 3 holes with compressed air. Replace plug in bowl. Stand up the Washer unclamp the fuel line. and wallah the machine starts on the second pull

@roberts1159 Год назад

Friend has a similar Troy Built pressure washer that was not starting. Ran across your video and just removed that bolt for the carb fuel bowl. Cleaned it and then it fired right up first pull ! Thanks for sharing this video.

Guys I wanted to thank you for this video. I own several troy bilt products and they've all been great EXCEPT this one. I purchased this new then used it twice. The 3rd time it would not start. This was only 7 months after purchase. Returned it for warranty repair & was told the repair would not be covered. 125 dollars later for a new carb the explanation for not starting was "Something growing in the carb"... What grows in a gas environment?!? Anyway, took it back home and used it twice AGAIN and then it failed to start. I tried mech in a bottle without luck, then I stumbled across this video. I CAN NOT Thank you enough for sharing this video. That joker is working and I've stopped throwing stuff in the shop now LOL! Thank you! Time to get the green of the side of the house :)

The newer carbs comes with faulty needles that don’t seat correctly tight. The float should be level when holding upside down. I have purchased own and the crap Chinese made and still haven’t had a decent carb. Normally just clean the bowl needle and down but our world has gone too crap in a few years

@jjt212 6 лет назад

CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH!!!!!!! Don't know why I didn't try spraying carb cleaner in there!!!!! I took the filter out and cleaned it.... tried starting it for an hour and a half...... was about to lug it onto my truck and bringing it in to have it serviced which would have cost me at least $250!!!! Sprayed carb cleaner like you did....started right up....used it ALL day!!!!!! But this time I added the stuff the repair center said to add to the gas so it doesn't happen again!!!! Thanks loads!!!!!!

SO AWESOME to hear!!!! Thank you so much for the comment. YESSSSS - Lots of crappy pressure washers. I even bought a second one because I didn't know how to fix my broken one (this one in the video) because I needed it right away to clean my boat. Then I had to fix that new pressure washer the next season but fortunately I knew what to do. And yes, Joe is super smart. He is sitting on a goldmine of youtube content (his talents need to be captured on video - just trying to convince him to make videos - I'd do the editing for him).

Same crap happened to my new pressure washer, I used it once and put Sta-bil in there. Just about a week ago I pulled it out, hooked it up and trash! It is a year old but used for only 20 minutes of life. I got her started after getting her all high on starter fluid but I know I have work to do. I think I lucked out though... Over the winter a Caseys fuel station was built near me, they sell ethanol free fuel, that will be my small engine fill up joint. Thanks for the vid, glad you got it working.

@@UDoIt2 I ran into a guy at Lowe's who had his power washer at the returns desk and was yelling at the young man at the counter saying this damn thing won't start and the cashier said he knows nothing about the power washer, since he was a millennial I could agree with him. I interrupted the fellow with the washer and asked him if he had the water hose connected and he said no, so I said I think it has to be under water pressure in order to start. He smiled and said thanks a lot. I don't know if I told him the truth or not, never seen him again. Just curious if i was correct or not.

Craftsman washer was very hard to start, from new out of the box, last year. Would Not restart after shut down. Followed your advice and removed the float bowl. It was clean. I drained the tank, just in case the gas was bad. I then ran a tip cleaner up the bolt hole... gave it a good reem job. Looked like hot glue residue came out. Reassembled. Filled with new gas... started second pull. Shut down after a few minutes.... restarted on second pull. I connected to water. Started right up. When I squeezed the trigger, the engine sped up, and pressure washer runs fine! Thank You!

I fixed mine once before. I tried to make it easy on myself and just drop the bowl. It was obvious the float was stuck. I cleaned the jet and carb cleaned the crap out of all of it and it fired fired up 1st pull. It's always been a 1 pull starter. I came here looking for an assembly video because the people that partially assembled mine put it on the base backwards. Which makes getting at the carb extremely challenging. Good video guys. I figured I'm going to have it half way torn down so I may as well get a little deeper into the project. This video will serve as a reference point for when I completely forget how to put it back together hahahaaaaa. Thanks!!

Great video. I found mine as a neighbor was taking it to the street for trash. Now I feel as though it needs just a little maintenance and mine will run as well.

@@UDoIt2 Thanks, do you know what size or part the float bowl gasket is? My pressure washer is leaking gas from the bottom of the float bowl. The gasket got damaged when I was removing and installing that screw.

I appreciate this. I just filmed another one on the same pressure washer.

@southernexploitslive5694 5 лет назад

I was at lowes today and they were getting rid of their power washer that they use to clean in the garden center. It was this exact model. They said $25 for the unit, came with a brand new 3700 PSI blue hawk hose, a adjustable pressure sprayer, and all of the attachments (plus a couple extras). The only problem, it wouldn't start. I pulled the cord in the store, saw it had compression and figure it was either a fuel issue with the carb, or a vacuum leak. Either way, a good buy for $25, even if the unit was shot. Brand new hose (40ft), attachments, and aftermarket sprayer. Got home, sprayed some starting fluid in the carb, and it ran for a few seconds...BINGO. Took it apart, cleaned it and....let's just say I'm a happy camper haha.

@UDoIt2 5 лет назад

oh dangggggg! Super awesome bargain! Im gonna put this comment in my next video! Thanks for the update!

@blurredvision81 4 года назад

Thanks for the video. In my case, it seemed to be that bottom screw that was clogged, like what I believe was your problem in the video. When I had taken that screw off before, I didn’t notice it had the two small holes in the side and the one on the tip. For many, I would suspect this is all you need to clean and there won’t be a reason to take the entire carb off like I did.

@UDoIt2 4 года назад

Thank you so much! Yes it was through Joe's help that I was able to what you did in this video here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IoemFBjpE_E.html

@georgeviebranz6075 6 лет назад

Great job guys. My small engine mechanic friend says to also use fuel stabilizer if there is ethanol in the gasoline. The self-adjusting carbs do not play well with ethanol while stored. I got mine started with just three steps. You guys saved me $89! Thanks so much.

@UDoIt2 6 лет назад

Great news! I have the fuel stabilizer and I bought Joe a bottle of it for helping.

@jamesfairchild3711 5 лет назад

Use ethanol free marine gas or truefuel. Problems averted.

@yorp8993 2 года назад

Thanks for the video, took mine apart several times, but was thinking the air compressor maybe overkill, hell no! It was crucial after taking it apart fourth time and using air compressor to blow out sediment in little openings was key. Thanks for video and saving me $$$$$

@UDoIt2 2 года назад

excellent!!! Thank you for the feedback RJ!!!

@rickblaine7463 5 лет назад

Glad this video is still up! Thank you both very much! Saved my parents some headache! Literally left this power washer sit for about a year and a half because it stopped working. After changing the sparkplug, oil, gas and I little carb cleaner to no avail...a little card TLC did the trick...thanks again!!!

@UDoIt2 5 лет назад

Well this is the same power washer I have. Ill be using your video today to help me fix mine. Its started last year before storage, and now it will not start? Cranks over, starts for a second and dies. Lets hope its the same issue as this one. Thanks for posting this!

@UDoIt2 6 лет назад

Thank you for leaving the comment. I'll be sure to let Joe know. He likes getting this feedback. I'll send Joe your question and see what he has to say about your issue.

@DreidMusicalX 6 лет назад

Thanks! I did solve the issue though. It turned out being a bad gasket that was getting air into it. I could not find a new gasket so I actually ended up making it out of a cereal box that is waxed on one side. I am now wondering if the new washer I bought , I bought with an issue, because its now running better than ever before. But thank you for your time. Very much appreciated!

@howtodoitdude1662 5 лет назад

@UDoIt2 6 лет назад

So cool! I will tell Joe. Thank you for leaving a comment. I must have missed your comment a month ago. I typically go through comments once a week. At one point I was able to answer a comment immediately. But now, I'm working on projects for the channel and my time is more limited. I hope you understand. My current project is an automated camera slider.

@Danesoper 5 лет назад

Thanks for recording! I knew I had a gummed up carb, but I didn't notice were the springs went. This video helped me see which spring went where, and where they attached.

@UDoIt2 5 лет назад

Excellent! I appreciate this feedback. I will let Joe know. I want him to make more video on gas powered equipment for my channel.
