UPDATE:1 year and still cranks within the first 2-3 pulls. Probably will buy another when this one finally does bite the dust ru-vid.comUgkx43QMbQqu67IZadu9ou8Sg1BdrunMRNqX . No issues at all. Very happy with it.UPDATE: After 6 months of use and over 70 uses I would still highly recommend this pressure washer. It does vibrate a decent amount but never had it “walk” like others have mentioned. No oil leaks, still seems to run like the day I bought it. Still cranks within 2-3 pulls every time. Very happy with my purchase!Have used it about a dozen times now. Plenty of power, cranks up on 1-2 pulls every time. My only complaint would be I wish it was a little taller to make it easier to walk with it (hits my ankles a lot) and that the two hose connections were a little further apart but it hasn’t caused me any issues. Seems to run a good 1-1/2-2 hrs on a full tank, overall a well built machine and definitely worth the money in my opinion.
I can't thank you enough for this Video. Before watching this Video I didn't know where to start to change the Engine Oil, Air Filter, Pump Non Detergent Oil or to even put in the Pump Saver. I bought a used 3800psi Power Boss Pressure Washer at the Pawn Shop and I followed your instructions. I watched your Video several times, thank you again and God Bless you.
For a revised version of this video in the future, I would suggest showing how to replace the pump inlet filter and also changing the pump oil (15W40 in mine).
You should have changed the pump oil. Its non-detergent 30W oil. And no you cannot overfill the regular oil in the engine, if its spilling out the top its full, and will continue to spill until its level with the opening. This isnt a lawn mower engine where overfilling will cause it to smoke. Also, use 10w-30 or straight 30 engine oil.
I think there was another drain screw on the other side of the pressure washer that had a down hole to catch the oil on the pan. Lol but great job made it look EASY and Messy :) thanks for the overall instructions.
Where to start... 1. Change the oil hot, with the pressure washer tilted toward the side of the engine that the plug is being removed from. 2. You can change the plug once the engine has cooled, making sure the gap is exactly what the manufacturer (in this case Honda), specifies. It doesn't hurt to spray a little WD-40 on the threads before installing the plug. 3. When you change the air filter, it makes sense to wipe off the housing base/blowing compressed air (with engine intake covered) to ensure the housing area is perfectly clean. (Homeboy here seems to leave a leaf or a moth sitting on the base, and just puts a new filter right on...) Honda wants you to check the oil level by "not threading" the dipstick plug, but rather-resting it on the top thread...good grief. 4. How about changing the pump oil?
I got a brand new pressure washer..... On the manual its says 600ml but i reach 450 and it spill out? It started first crank but after few hours of using it now it can take like 10 crank before it start......is this cause of the oil? Do i need to put in the 150ml that missing???
@@Tiburnn there may be 200ml still in the system. Next time keep the engine running a while to warm up the oil which will make it more liquid. Then wherever the drain hole is tilt it as much as you can.
spark plug should have had gap checked prior to installation, old plug should have been looked at for how clean it was burning, pump oil should have been checked at the least or drained and replaced. air filter base should have been cleaned prior to new filter installation. draining engine oil, engine should have been tipped slightly to remove as much old oil and you can. this is was more of a SERVICE than a tune up but it was a sloppy service at that
Very helpful, thanks. I will check out your other videos since I'm a new owner of a gas pressure washer. I don't even know if the water has to be completely drained each time of use.
you can make a funnel like a small shovel out of a flat piece of metal keeping oil away from the wheel and under the motor guiding it down into the pan.
Russo, do you know what the valve gaps are supposed to be on this particular engine? I can’t find it online and no longer have the correct literature to tell me. Thank you in advance.
You never changed the oil on the water pressure motor, or take out the spring and you also didn't clean out the screen on the water inlet where the hose hooks up. Thank you for the tune up info on the Honda motor though
I just tuned up two pressure washers this morning. You never gapped the plug unless you did that off camera. I find that prepped plugs are RARELY gapped correctly so you should have pointed out gapping them or at least checking the gap.
@@BrockLee3 Hey Brock, I'm not very good with math, but that'd be like two fingers per hand, or some combination equaling six wouldn't it. You could have like three fingers on one, two on the other and one on the third, or four fingers on one and one each on the other two; after very little thought, it sounds trustworthy to me. Although it's completely anecdotal my grandfather had three fingers on one hand and he was totally trustworthy. Not only that but he could crush your hand with those three fingers, OK, two fingers and a thumb, but you get the idea, just be careful during handshakes when you see that last combination.
I really enjoyed your video, I saw someone once say that when storing it for the winter that you should put a little oil in the hole where the spark plug does. How do you feel about that
Can I do the same steps for John Deere ac2700. And I don’t have the manual for you didn’t explain or showed the oil type and where the best place to buy if you can advise me. Thanks great video though
I didn't know you had to thread the dip stick all the way in to check the oil level. I thought it was intended to be taken out, wiped then just put in without threading and then checked.
It was a decent video, give it a rest people, it educated me. I have almost the same washer and it froze out, now i know to use the pump saver for the winter storage
baddmaxx25 ......you can use SAE 30 all summer,and they will use less oil. When it gets cold .....switch to 10w30. We run 550 hrs. plus on gx390 and gx610. great engines.
10W30 just meant it changes weight in the winter. if the last number matches the number for the SAE then your good. plus you ain't using the pressure washer below freezing temps anyways
