Easy to follow and thorough step by step tutorials do it yourself (DIY) videos to help you with your broken lawn and garden equipment including snowblowers and zero turn mowers.
I do my best to teach you how to easily diagnose problems the fastest, quickest and most efficient way with real repairs beyond just replacing a spark plug. These tips are for both the homeowner and shop owner.
Whether it be a handheld, two stroke, two cycle engine like a chainsaw, weed eater, weed wacker, string trimmer, grass trimmer, line trimmer, hedge trimmer, strimmer, brush cutter, leaf blower, or four stroke, four cycle units like a lawnmower, wood splitter, lawn tractor, zero turn mower, snowblower, pressure washer, generator or a ride on mower that needs parts installed or replaced, I’m your go-to guy.
My favorite brands of spark plugs are NGK and Champion and are the ones I recommend.
I’ve been a small engine mechanic for many decades and also run my own repair shop so my videos are loaded with tips and tricks that I have learned and want to share with you. You will also find many tool and product reviews from top brands on my channel as well.
I have the largest Small Engine Repair Video Library on RU-vid and the entire internet with over 1200 videos, just GOOGLE "DONYBOY73"!

The most damaging thing I ever did to a pressure washer was to lend it out. Even when you educate them on how to run it, they always say they know how it works. Then it comes back busted. 4th one in 4 years. Not this one though, lesson learned. Great vid. Thanks

@vincentrobinette1507 2 года назад

There's only one more tip to add: NEVER run a pump dry! Connect the hose first, turn it on, trigger the wand until all the air is out of it, then start the engine. I have had to hold the wand trigger, with no nozzle tip, because the build up of pressure can sometimes make it hard to start the engine. When I'm ready to store it for the winter, I will turn off the fuel, rather than the ignition, and let the carburetor float bowl drain out. I then remove the hose and the wand, and put on the choke and give it one final pull. That drains the last bit of gasoline out of the idle circuit and emulsion tube of the carburetor, so no fuel is left to leave gum or varnish behind. That final few seconds of run is enough to purge out residual water from the pump, so there's no water left behind to cause corrosion, or freeze, I've been doing that, rather than adding antifreeze, and it works well. (My pressure washer is a Generac)

@keithmarlowe5569 Год назад

YES! Resounding YES! I too have Generac pressure washer, and I played hell starting the damn thing this year. It had sat for a year and half maybe, so I attributed to everything else and not the pressure build up. When in doubt, whip it out! (the manual) It says in there to relieve pressure if it does not start on first couple pulls.

@Frank_W. Год назад

And when you want to start it after you get the water running smoothly through the pump squeezing the trigger while you pull the cord is much easier.

@TT-dz8zf Год назад

So….as you let it run to pump remaining water out…the machine will run “dry” until you turn it off.

@paulbillings1791 Год назад

The emulsion tube pickup isn't actually at the very bottom. It can still corrode if the bowl isn't fully drained. Old gas in the tank needs to be removed before storing for longer than 3 months.

@steve8803 Год назад

@Vincent Robinette I am sure what you do works for you, I would just use anti freeze rather than run the pump dry which can potentially dry rot the rubber seals inside. It's dirt cheap.

Good point about keeping the water flowing so as not to burn out the pump. Fish tank filters are the same way, when you start them up (after cleaning them every week) you have to add water immediately so as not to burn out the pump motor. Another great video Don!

@trezvining7794 Год назад

Just a tip to keep the flow going....Put a zip-tie around the grip and squeeze-lever and tighten it just enough to hold the lever in the engaged position. (You'll see what I mean when you do this.) Then you can slide it (the zip-tie) up and/or down to engage/dis-engage the water flow. In that way, you can keep it engaged when you want to lay it down to move something or whatever without having to rush. Works quite well.........

@taftr 2 года назад

Very good info here as always. Another reason to put pump saver into your pump after every use, especially if you let it sit for a few weeks between uses, it flushes out the water left behind in in the pump. If you let the water sit it will evaporate and leave behind mineral deposits that will clog the passages and valves eventually. Also along the lines of not leaving the pump running when your not spraying, it is a very good idea to turn on the water before you start the pump and squeeze the wand trigger until water comes out. That way you won't be running the pump dry and causing any undue wear. Pump saver also helps in that regard as it is a lubricant as well as a antifreeze.

@keithmarlowe5569 Год назад

For the not running when not spraying thing: My washer is Generac and it has a purge valve that relieves pressure automatically. Maybe that's not a thing on all pressure washers.

@taftr Год назад

@@keithmarlowe5569 The problem with pumps that continue to run when not spraying (All Gasoline Powered Washers) is that the moving water dissipates the Heat that is naturally generated while the pump is running. Most Electric Washers have a pressure switch that shuts off the pump while not in use.

@chucknplata2261 Год назад

Richard, is there a brand name product that you use? I have a Karcher 3000 . I live in the Dominican Republic so freezing temps won’t occur. Automotive additives that so abundant in Wisconsin are so hard to find here, like Marvel Mystery Oil, Sea foam, injector cleaners. Any recommendations are welcome. The water here comes from a river, not drinkable but ok for for showers and washing clothes. It looks realy clean and clear, no smell but I know some dirt and minerals are in the water. Thanks

@Arthurian. Год назад

I'm not sure you're correct on mineral deposits occurring as you claim. That usually takes lots of water if the area even has a high mineral content in their water

@oldArmyVet 10 месяцев назад

Where do you get pump saver?

@bhinsch25 Год назад

I use velcro to keep the pump flowing so I can do things for a short while without turning off the machine. I also keep sprayer open with velcro. Makes it much easier to start very helpful. Good job.

@TheLawnmowerLady 2 года назад

So much useful information in this video. Thanks!

@mrboom4570 2 года назад

When you release the trigger the water now circulates through the unloader valve back into the pump. When the water runs in this circle fresh incoming water is not cooling the pump. The small amount of water circulating through the pump and unloader quickly overheats to the point it damages the seals in the pump.

@markpinther9296 Год назад

Another great video. My pressure washer is the one tool that vexes me in so many ways. Proper oil level is difficult to maintain, oil coming out the gasket from overfilling and loosened gasket cover bolts etc. Would love to start over fresh and drain it all out, clean all the oil off the machine etc.

@KensSmallEngineRepair 2 года назад

People with well water injest a LOT of minerals and salts into the pump. They look all white and crusty when you remove the strainer! Thanks Don!

@GLRAKER 8 месяцев назад

That was very concise and spot on. Do it all and it will run a very long time.

@MattPiekarsky Год назад

As someone who also works on small engines this is why I went electric on my pressure washer. If you don't need more than 2000 psi electric are normally more than enough for the job. Also you don't have to worry about burning out the pump, because it will stop running (provided you have it set up correctly, and I you easily store it in my basement in the winter as they are light weight.

Very good you mentioned the way I've destroyed my last 3 pressure washers...running more than 30 seconds without spraying. I blame the manufacturers for this. They KNOW users will pause while washing and destroy pumps, but fail to re-design them to sell more units. Replacement pump prices are often as much as a new machine! A sad commentary on today's disposable world.

@donyboy73 2 года назад

disregard last comment it was spam.

@donyboy73 2 года назад

they should add a sticker that says "do not leave running more than 30 seconds without spraying"

@JABloch 2 года назад

Or even better, a temp sensor on the pump that can shut off ignition.

@kenbrown2808 2 года назад

@@JABloch it would need to be a lower temperature, because it would have to trigger BEFORE the pump started to overheat.. they could have a thermostatic blowoff valve that would reduce the throttle and dump water straight out until the pump was back down to a safe temperature after it started to overheat. with an electric pressure washer, all they would need to do is have the trigger also start the motor. it would take a hose with a set of conductors for the switch, but that would be relatively easy to make.

I bought a garden hose thread to 3/4" PVC adapter at Ace hardware (only place I have found these adapters at) glued it onto 8" of 3/4 PVC pipe with a 90 degree fitting and 3" piece of PVC glued onto the other end. Thread it into your pump and pour some anti-freeze into it and pull starter rope till some anti-freeze comes out the hgih pressure outlet. That short PVC adapter when filled up usually is enough anti freeze to go all the way thru pump and you don't have to turn the pressure washer on its side and dripple it in. You could also use and old garden hose cut off to do the same thing, although you have to secure the cut end of the hose to something to keep it full of anti-freeze while pulling the starter rope.

I have had a pressure washer in the extreme north for over 30 years with no problems. My pump specific fall prep is to flush the whole system with air. I have soldered up a little male water hose/ air compressor quick connect together. (I also use it to clear the lawn/garden irrigation system). This assures the wand, hoses and pump system are completely dry. They sit out the winter at minus 40 and worse with no sequelae. Then the usual winter storage management for the engine.

@michaelfred8848 8 месяцев назад

I also saw a tip about the o rings or seals can crack inside the pump if you blow out the pump and then leave it dry but that’s when you should pump in the antifreeze and leave it in there for the winter if the washer is left outside. I did that today. Also straighten out the hose and drain the water out so it doesn’t freeze and burst

That allows the worker to move things out of the way etc. without shutting off the machine. Thanks, Dony
