I found a freebie push mower one time, snatched it up, it looked like new, it wouldn’t start, so I looked at the air filter it was so clogged up, blew it out with air compressor, started right up, I’ve been mowing my lawn with for the past 18years, sometimes people just trash things instead of a simple fix
And the pump is the most expensive thing on it. J didnt winterize it the 1st year and my pump cooked. I found a rebuilt for 80$. Put it on and its like new. Now i use pump antifreeze. It screws on like a normal hose. Press button on the can till it shoots out the pump and your done. Going on 7 years now and its a cheap axial pump but throws 3500psi. Havent had anything i couldnt get off anyway. And the briggs and strat can lasted the 6 years so gar and no issues. Also tirn your gas off and let it run till it dies. Your all set
Instead of just leaving it, I'd walk up and knock on his door. "I fixed your pressure washer. You can have it back for $150." He might say F__k off, or maybe he'd bargain. You could end up with a little money for your trouble.
I have a question for you regarding a 1980's 9.9 Johnson outboard I am working on! When I start the motor it initially runs great then after 4-5 minutes it just dies! It acts like it is getting choked out of fuel or air I just can't figure it out! I replaced almost everything on this motor I put all new fuel lines fuel pump and rebuilt the carb new powerpack new coils! It is new fuel with synthetic oil new fuel lines and bulb on with inline filter to motor. This motor was having the same problems before I started working on it! Is there anything I could be missing?
its always the seals. You get everything cleaned and put all this time in and it still doesnt work. Just buy a rebuilt. Of ot truly is a 3500psi which is not a chance in hell. More like 2300. You have to go by GPM gallons per min. If it can only uses 2.0 gals a min. Then its a maximum 2000psi washer. They pull these lil tricks on homeowners. If it wont take moss of aggregate its 2500 or less. Theres a full tutorial on pumps and washer
