Is gas getting to the inlet of the carb, If it is the carb needs to be taken off of engine and dismantled. There is a plugged port in the carb its self. You need to clean it throughly, every little orifice. If you discover a white powder substance on metal surface inside carb ,that is caused by water damage. carb should be replaced at this point. If it's just green or rusty inside cleaning should work. You have to make shure you clean both the high and low mixture passages. if only the high gets claen when it runs it will hunt or surge because its not getting fuel though low mixture passage. good luck.

hello jro.... the engine is not getting enough fuel. check the fuel filter for crud. also try running it on starter fluid for a minute or so. to do that you may need a helper to spray the fluid while u keep it running. joe.

Most parts are available from many locations depending on the brand of the pump. Look for brand /model number of the pump itself (not the model of the pressure washer). With model number ready, get on line and find www.pwmall.com or a number of other locations and look for parts list for your pump. If the parts kits are expensive, look on ebay for a complete replacement pump for your engine size and wand/tips. Good luck on your repair.

Have you put a new sparkplug in. Also check that the oil level is full. If still no go, check the spacing between the coil and flywheel.

It sounds like the engine is not getting enough fuel for it to run. First check that you have the fuel tap in the on position. If the fuel tap is on then the carby might be blocked or the needle & seat are not working properly. Turn the fuel tap off. Then take the fuel bowl off. You will then see a plastic float,turn fuel tap on. Fuel then should be flowing from carby. Push the float up and this should stop the fuel from running. Do this a couple of times to ensure that it is working correctly. If all is good after that then turn fuel tap off. Put fuel bowl back on, turn fuel tap on and test. If no luck, turn fuel tap off. Then you will need to take the carby off the motor and clean it using carby cleaner. Be sure to spray cleaner in all holes of carby and blow out carefully with air compressor. Put carby back onto motor and turn fuel tap on and test.

Yes it's probably just the O-ring which goes between the main part and the bowl

There is a very good possibility that corrosion has locked up the float. I would try removing the cover/bowl and make sure the float isn't stuck. With all of the other things you've done this is my best guess.
Good luck!

You need at least half full.Thanks

it sounds l may need a digapham or bowl cleaning ike a carborater problem it

the motor wont rev high on choke.the motor is suppose to fire once on choke. then turn the choke off.pull the start cord and the motor should start and run.check that the throttle conrol is on full. it should run fine.

whats happening is its running out of fuel . what you wanna do is clean out the carb and check fuel lines for cracks

first thing to do is take the fuel bowl off.then turn the fuel tap on.fuel should be running out of the needle from the carby.if not, the needle and float is not working properly. turn the fuel tap off .spray some carby cleaner into the needle and seat. turn the fuel tap back on and lift the float up,this should stop the fuel from coming out.and when you let go of the float,fuel should start coming out.
lift the float up and down a couple of times to ensure it is working. put fuel bowl on and run.

YES. THE PUMP WILL NEED BLEEDING IF IT HAS NOT BEEN USED FOR A WHILE.

you need to get a valve spring compression tool to avoid damage to engine
