talk with a honda service shop i suspect that it is a water drain tube to remove water from the bowl of the carby

Your choke controls the mixture of fuel and air. An engine will run rich if it has a restriction to air flow. Try removing the air cleaner, if after this you can turn off the chock you have a dirty air cleaner.

No, but it sounds if the carb needs to be cleaned! Fresh fuel helps too. Check the spark plug and check the breather filter. Also you can crank the engine with the breather filter off and try to move the choke to run then. If it runs with the filter off then there is your problem! 1 question, has anyone try to work on it or adjust the carb in any way?

Turbo heads are pressure rated for different pressure washers, your turbo head is most likely rated bellow the maximum pressure of your washer which in turn causes a pressure build up in the hose and it's eventual failure.

sounds like your pump or motor seized from overheating which makes parts swell / grow in size/expand so they stop working ,,,letting cold water flow through the pump would have cooled the parts and help shrink the parts again .. Overheating can do permanent damage to your machine.. I think it needs to be dismantled and inspected for damage by someone who knows what to look for. not sure if the problem is in the pump or the motor, hope that helped.....pete

Sounds like the unloader (regulator). Try removing the nozzle, the pull the trigger with the engine running. If motor is still running then it could be the Unloader malfunctioning. If you require a new one try a bypass system for the unloader. The bypass will help save the life of the unloader.

Hi Martin, check the level of the oil in the engine, if the level is low, the machine has been tipped on the side and the oil has gone over the head. Make shore that engine is on the flat ground when used or transported. Tilting the unit over 20 degrees will cause the oil to go over the head. Two ways to fix the problem pour some petrol in the cylinder, put a rag on the spark plug hole and pull the starter rope few times to clean the cylinder, repeat the same until the cylinder is clean. You have to check the carbi for oil getting into it, and clean it. Make sure you clean all the petrol before attempting to start the engine. It is a bit messy but not require to pull the engine apart. The other way to clean the oil is to remove the cylinder head off and clean it, its the proper way of doing the job, but requires a lot of dismantling. Hope this helps. Cheers

carburetor needs cleaning/rebuilding/replacing

Hi, there should be an o ring between the bowl and the carburetor, check for damage or if missing, also there should be fiber washers on the retaining and the draining screws. Check for a hole in the bowl if rusted, check if the bowl flange sits parallel to the carburetor and finally check for a rubbish in the bowl that will stop the float valve to operate correctly and cause the carburetor to overflow.

Most likely dirty fuel in the carbi, remove and clean the carbi, check for a hole in the float.

Maybe your gas cap is bad an not ventin allowing air behin the fuel

what gear oil ??? it should be a non detergent motor oil but this all depends on the brand of pump that you forgot to mention

rkv pump half of sight glass on back cover any excess can cause over flow if back cover has no sight glass then you will have to use the dipstick do as follow fill pump crankcase while inserting the dipstick til it stops without screwing it in then remove the dipstick and place the end to the pump casing if you see oil your okay cause by the time you fully insert the stick its gonna show where it should be and again half the sight glass:):)best oil to use is 30w non-detergent oil
