PowerHorse Pressure Washer Won’t Start, Carburetor Cleaning & Petcock 

Folks like you make life better. Thank you so much for teaching us !!!!! 🙂

I watched a kid spray his leg while working in North Dakota on the rigs. He was trying to wash his boots off and went a little too high and injected himself with 3800psi of a water/diesel mixture. Was in the ER for a few weeks, and lost his job. I gained a new found respect for pressure washers that day.

The old powerhorse still has some kick left in it. Great detail on the fix and cool fun for us to have a good laugh.

Thanks! I followed the steps and got my Powerhorse pressure washer working again. Symptom: Started up fine but would stall within a couple of minutes. Pressure washer had been sitting for about a year. Cleared the petcock and drained all the old fuel. Opened the bell and cleared the carburetor. Reassembled then filled with new fuel. Spent the rest of the weekend washing everything!

great vid, like your presentation style, glad to be a new subscriber. I was pressure washing in flip flops but after your story wont anymore

I was out today wearing crocs using my pressure washer. Thank you for the valuable tip!

Worked with small engine tools all my life landscaping. Wouldn't try working on carburetor after bad experience 25 years ago. My pressure washer quit today. Trying to get into repair shop and hearing how much would probably be, I watched half of this video, decided I'd try and fixed easy doing your step taking bowl off and jet out cleaning. Runs like new! I'd hug your neck if I could see you!

Yep, did the trick. Mine was stuck so I just sprayed some carb cleaner through it. Thanks! 👍

Yo yo Mike your a mad man .. great fix and love the post chat lol

Thanks u saved me time, gave me confidence!!! I like u 😊

Thank you sir... for the tips at the end too

Thank you so much for the pointers!

Great video! Solved my problem. Thank you, sir!! Not sure if it'll help, but I installed a small Briggs & Stratton 75 micron inline fuel filter. Couldn't hurt I suppose.

Thanks for a good helpful video

Nah best way is always compressed air and there is more passages then just the main jet that need cleaning to run well. The main jet controls the fuel mixture for high end or full throttle. For most people it will help it run pipe cleaners work good too. Dont run a pressure washer period with no water ever especially on a triple piston pump.

This was 2 years ago and you mention that this Pressure Washer was a POS and on its last leg. now, i am looking to buy one and wonder if you recommend Powerhorse or stay away?

Can you adjust the carburetor? My powerhorse washer idles really rough. Not a smooth idle.

Thank you so much for this video

Thanks this was helpful!

Can you give video on how to replace the two small metal pieces inside the pull string holder.

Worked great thanks

Thanks for the video. Do you know the diameter of the tube that you connected to the petcock for draining fuel? I'll bet a 10mm nut driver would save some aggravation. How about just running some sea foam through it?

Hey do you guys know what causes the pressure washer to shut off when I release the spray trigger?

simple explanations, full of knoledge. thanks...it works now.,.!!

What the box like thing under the carburetor with 2 houses connected to it called I been looking for a name and can’t figure it out.

Use a guitar string to clean that carb jet out 🙃
