Pressure washer won't start. It has gas, oil and I turned the switch to turtle and to rabbit position. Does it matter if water is on first or not? It won't start either way.

Turn the water on, hold trigger down and let water run thru the hose to prime the air out of the hose. If it still will not start check the spark plug and clean it or replace it. A bad spark plug will keep it from starting

After I start the pressure washer,do i push the choke back in,or leave it on?because it was smoking a little bit when it was on and running.or is that normal?

You turn it off after is warmed up, if it is smoking some , depending how bad it is won't hurt, unless it is running rough or smokes bad. Then needs possibly light tune up. You know oil change, fuel filter, clean air filter.

The first thing I would check would be the oil level, to make sure you didn't put in too much oil. If the oil level is correct, it could be a stuck piston ring, letting oil blow by the piston, and out the exhaust. If this is the case, you are going to have to tear down the engine.

Hope this helps!

My power washer wouldn't start. I replaced the spark plug and it started right up. but spray was a bit sporadic and then it began billowing thick white smoke and stopped running? Any thoughts.

white smoke IS NOT fuel related. you twit! white smoke indicates oil consumption. they let anyone answer these things

Karcher 2400 psi with honda motor started up big puff of white smoke from exaust it shut off noiw wont start whats going on

I have a john deere 3000psi pressure washer with similar problem. Running fine then a puff of smoke and it shut down. I checked the oil and found it full of water. Not only that but since I still had the water turned on, the water was flowing out of the dip stick tube. I'm trying to find a solution online and will pass any information on.

SOURCE: My Karcher K9.8 electric pressure washer started

Not Simple.
I have the same Problem, the leak is from the seam of the Manifold or on the pressure side of the Pump and the hose housing. In my case there is a small crack in the seam of the Manifold Housing. A manufacturing defect.. A New Manifold Complete Replacement about the half the price what I paid for this pressure washer at Walmart... :( If under 1 year old, and you can find a receipt,Karcher will replace the whole Pressure washer under warranty.
