Newer POWERSTROKE Pressure Washer won't START after STORAGE. BRIGGS and STRATTON Ready Start 190cc 

The assembly of the lawn mower could be done without any problems ru-vid.comUgkxTPN04aT-Qdjr_KS3ql7ng8wnU3wwsCqk also recommend I just puzzled something about the red strange “key”. However, it quickly turned out that this creates a kind of contact bridge between battery packs and lawn mowers. An additional backup as a father of a 1 year old nephew is great!! :-)

After hours of pulling cord and cleaning plugs I finally watch this video. Clean the main jet and it start. Great video.

I don't have this exact model, but gave me a good enough idea of what to do. I was able to fix the clogged carb and clean everything in less than 15 min. Thanks for posting!!

This video got me from barely knowing what carburetor is to a functional pressure washer in 5 minutes. Well done!

Same problem on a Briggs and Stratton pressure washer. I watched just to see how to clean carb. No gunk in mine at all it looked brand new. Wished I watched all the way thru the first time. Only gunk was in the plug for the bowl. Thanks!

thanks for the easy to follow instructions. I don't know where I was when guys like you were learning how to do this stuff.

Used my almost new 3000 PSI 2.7 GPM 875 twice and let it sit for two years with gas (shame on me). Had it up on FB Marketplace for 2 days. Way to many calls for the price listed. Decided to check out how to repair and this was the first video I watched. Now it is not for sale and it's running perfect! You the man!

Thank you for the video! My brand new Briggs n Stratton powerstroke pressure washer wouldn’t start and I followed your instructions and fixed it! So happy!!!!

Excellent! My carb was filled with oily residue. Your clean-out instructions plus a little seafoam worked, runs great now.

Really a big help and so appreciate this wonderful video tutorial that you took the time to post. I indeed had a blockage in that bottom screw. Would have never noticed that it had a "T" type of mini fuel flow channels. Carb spray and a stiff strand of copper wire indeed cleared the blockage. The carb spray showed it was blocked and then showed it open after a good cleaning as instructed. Thanks. Unfortunately, after performing this cleaning my engine still did not start. So this is what I learned. You have to take the carb off and really clean the remaining thin channel passageways in the carb. Use your phone and take good pictures of the carb unit before you start and during the disassembly so you install back to spec with all the proper hard-wire connections, positions, spacers, etc. A big help when you start to put it back together! Once free and in your hand, look at the bottom of the carb where that bolt screws into and clean that very small passageway with your wire and carb cleaner. Same with another very small fuel passageway above that the float unit controls. You may notice it is red in color. You'll know when they are clear once again by the free-flowing carb spray coming out the other end. Vio la... it finally started up! A beautiful feeling after 3 failed attempts. Be patient, work organized with good light, be comfortable and shoot photos as needed to have as a reference for the reverse procedure. You'll be winning this time.

Thank you, judging from the comments either many didn’t have dads, never did chores, or didn’t pay attention to what their dad was teaching…either way thanks!

I have a 3200 psi powerstroke pressure washer that is about 6 months old and didn’t want to start,this did the trick,thank you for sharing.

Helped me solve my problem with a like type pressure washer. The seal to put the carburetor back on, however, is an act of science! Must be precise and never over tighten. Thanks to this video, it saved me from having to deal with the protection plan joke of a service ticket. Great job!

Thanks for the video. When I saw you working in the grass, my first thought was something will drop into it. I like working on a clean table at a comfortable working height. A neighbor recently gave me a pressure washer with a B&S engine that he couldn't get to crank. From appearance, it looks like it hadn't been used much. As a test, I gave it a dap of starter fluid to see if it would even fire. It did, so I decided to give it a shot. I pulled the carb off and sprayed out the pilot jet and insides. I didn't know the main jet was the bowl screw until I saw this video. I used a bristle from a wire brush along with carb cleaner to clear all holes. It fired right up, so I tested the water pump, all is good. Well, I do need to replace the lower bowl sealing washer, but that is minor. I'll make one with gasket paper. Note to others: if you feel your carb may need a rebuild kit, keep in mind a new complete carb is about the same price on ebay or Walmart.com.

Thanks! this video helped me get running in no time flat! Couldn't have done it without you.

Thank you for taking the time to put this up! Very helpful!

Thanks for the simple video, this did the trick for me. In my instance the gaskets were fine. All I needed to do was clean out that carb nut/valve I didn't know it had a function other than being a nut, simple canned air blast blew out the black gunk.

I really needed this video. Maybe now I can get a bunch of my equipment running. Thank you.

Thank you for a clear informative video. I especially like the metal detector for finding the metal pin.

Only used mine (Power Stroke 3200) about a half dozen times last year, and even though new I still run Berryman's B-12 in it too. So I'm hoping it's just a little sediment...thanks for this video Jeff!!!

I’m having the same problem. Thanks for posting this!

This video was a huge help. I have a pressure washer with the same exact engine, and everything you showed here was accurate. In my case, it was indeed a clogged carburetor. After cleaning it out, exactly as shown in this video, it ran perfectly all afternoon today. Many thanks.

Thanks to your video I fixed my power washer . Great job

I put fuel stabilizer in my 91 gas just before I put it away and it gummed up before I was even finished with it. I appreciate this tutorial, my pressure washer is a main tool for my boat detailing business. Time to get it working..

I use a blue tarp from Harbor to work on top of that way of anything falls its there. Typically a quick clean up for any gas or oil that haas fallen on the tarp. Great video and easy to fall. Thanks for your work

Thanks! Got me up and running in less than 5 minutes... After not using my power washer for 9 months!

Thanks to you my pressure washer is back running!

😜 I’m thinking the gas overfill thing at the end has become something of a standard sign off for these repair guys. I love it.

Thank you very much for this video, it has helped me to get mine working after a hard time. Thanks again for sharing

I am going to try to fix my pressure washer your video showed clear instructions step by step. thank you

Great video. I got a chuckle out of the "Has anybody seen the swivel pin?" aside.

Jeff, you're a braver man than I am by working on a carburetor over deep grass!

Never touched a motor in my life and this helped me get mine back up and running(knock on wood) Thanks homie

Great video, draining the fuel and removing the carb jet worked for me.

Thank you sharing this video! I was having the same issue. I followed your steps and my power washer started right up with one pull!

You make it look so easy, however I have one where the carburetor is not easy to get to!!!enjoyed the video. Thanks

Great video! You covered everything. Fantastic.

Thanks for the Tutorial, this will be of great help,....THANKS!!!!

I am going to have a go at this.....thx for making it less mysterious mate

You saved my Saturday! Thanks!

I recently picked up 2 craftsman pressure washers at Lowes for $25 each. They looked brand new so I was surprised to find gas in the tanks. Both had bad gas and the spark plugs were way under gapped. Drained the gas, cleaned the carbs and replaced the spark plugs and they started right up. With all my machines I always shut off the gas and let the engine run and if I don't plan on using it for over a month I always drain the gas tank. And since I started mixing seafoam in with the gas I haven't had any carb issues.

Thank you so much for this thorough cleaning. Fixed my washer. Now I will know what to check every year I bring it out to use. I need a metal detector.haha

Cleaned the main jet on plug for the bowl, fired straight up. Thanks!

Thanks to your video I was able to fix mine..you saved me lots of money. 👍

I found one on the side of the rd.last night someone thru out so gonna start with this, thanks

Very useful video. Thanks for posting.

Thank you! We only used our b&g 3000 psi ready start, 1 x last summer. Followed your video (so thorough) and presto! Thank you!!

Excellent video, thanks for the very detailed step by step repair. Very helpful

Thanks, I got mine running again!!!

We used this technique today to our power washer running. Thank you!

Nice job....I thought I was the only one who used a metal detector to find lost parts and tools..lol..lol..

Clear instructions and helpful tips. Thanks for sharing your experience. Good job.

Thank you for educating me

thanks, your videos are well done and very helpful. have to admit, the hair stood up on the back of my neck when you said you lost that small pin. finding that in the grass would be impossible. love the metal detector idea. i've lost small parts in wood shavings inches high. used a magnet but that's a crap shoot. even after finding it it's annoying because of how long it took.

Recently inherited a 2900 Craftsman and learned that it will make me cuss, pulling the rope start, If, I don’t spray water and get all the pressure out, or the rope might break or the Damn thing will turn over. Lol. If my son is with me, it’s easy. If he isn’t, I use a big pair of vice-grips to hold sprayer on and the rope pulls so easy. Took a few minutes online to figure that one out.

This is one of the best HOW TO Vids I've ever seen! Nice job and thanks much for the help.

Thanks you save me a lot of money and frustration

Holy Sholedo...WHA!!! Spent last 2 days on EXACTLY this problem and was doubting myself, yellin' at the dog and utterly frustrated...and then I saw THIS! PLEASE, please, please, please, please be information I need...My dog's is gonna hobo up and hit the road if I can't figure this out!?

Great video. Got mine started. Runs now. Thank you.

Awesome vid man !! Got me going in 20 minutes !!

Thanks man. That was the issue. It works 😃

It works.....THANK YOU!

Can u show me how two put together all the carburator Jeff and thank u

Worked for me. Would not run. Drained the tank, cleaned the bowl and jsts, checked the float, re-assemble and it power washes like new! Thanks.

I would have removed the carb it’s only two bolts. Much easier to clean and you get the carb cleaned out completely. There are ports and holes that are clogged that you didn’t clean. I would have replaced the carb bowl gasket too. Nice metal detector by the way.

My go to for hardware in the grass is a magnet. :)

Saved me a repair bill. Many thanks.

You know it’s an easy fix when the video is over 11 min long 👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks man, straight forward stuff. Thanks for simplifying it

Thank You for your video. This was my issue and it worked like a charm. I saved $150 if I took it for repair!

Thank you for this video. I had the exact same problem with my pressure washer. I did the same thing as the video and now it runs great. 👍🏾

Really nice and useful video - Thanks. Hope you wont have too many dead grass spots from all that gas and carb cleaner :-)

great job started first pull!! could it be the ethanol in the gas causing that carb problem?

2:52 lawnmower ? 😂😂😂😂 good video!! Thanks

Thanks for your video I resolve my problem you saved me money thank you good men

THANK YOU!

My briggs and stratton lawn mower can starts when it's cold but won't start when it's hot, so I decided to remove a whole carburetor and cleaned it off using a carburetor cleaner and put a new carb gasket air filter. Now it can start when it's hot. I can start it up many times as I like. It just worked great. I also had to install a fuel shutoff valve between the carb and a gas tank because I don't want to let it sit in the storage too long since fuel would be bad inside the carb which is why I used ethanol shield in a 10 gal. gas container. No problem.

metal detector is a great idea i could have used that many times in my past

THanks You are the best!

Awesome!, ty,!, I hate mine for this very reason!

i cleaned my main jet screw but still wont start without starting fluid. now i will dig further into the carb with this video, but i thought there was another jet or something else you would have sprayed out and so i`m a little disappointed you didnt cover that part

Thanks for sharing!!

Hello! Would you happen to know what the intake and exhaust valve clearance is for this exact pressure washer? I’ve been trying everything to fix my pressure washer these last few days, but it just won’t stay running. It ran for about 3 minutes this morning but at a very low speed. The pressure in the hose got stronger and stronger and finally the engine picked up speed to almost normal. I let off on the trigger and left it at idle for about 15 seconds while I ran into the garage to get my pliers to adjust the rpm, and it stalled out. Now it’ll start for less than a second every time that I give it a pull. The carburetor has been cleaned and rebuilt. Any advice would be great. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing. You saved me time and money

Bro, u are the man thanx for the share... Keep safe from Australia...

Man, I might need to invest in that metal detector. Good video!

I have a powerstroke 2700 with a honda motor on it, never had any issues with it. But I always cut the fuel and let it die with water on.

Thanks for this video. My pressure washer is struggling when turned on especially when I switch to low pressure when cleaning my car. Do you know what seems to be the problem?

I found oil on the spark plugs for a similar model. Any ideas how to fix. Hopefully, it's not a seal or anything serious.

Thanks Jeff !

Any tip on how to remove the screw on the bottom of the carb which is round of & no grip (strip)?

I got 3 of these motors cheap and working on the first one i could not get it to run untill a buddy told me to check the gasket between the carb and engine block. It looked like new but i put sealant on it anyway and it fires right up with half a pull. Did the same with the 2nd and it starts with just a 1/4 pull.

I want to know how many YEARS you've ADDED to your life by getting that metal detector, with how long I've spent on my hands and knees looking for lost bolts/washers I can't believe I haven't thought of getting one of those. Thank you, subbed

Jeff, can I try to start up my pressure washer with out water hooked up, if it starts shut it off in 30 seconds or so??

Thank you.

Very helpful!

As much as you like to work outdoors, I'm surprised you haven't cobbled together a bench out there somewhere.

When you tip it like that should I worry about the oil or anything? If the gas fix doesn't work what would be your next step?

Good Video

Okay my buddy.... Darius🙏🏾🙏🏾💯
