Engine keeps shutting down

CHECK FUEL PUMP

These carbs are hard to clean up. They are fairly cheap to replace outright so I would suggest that as a fallback option.

I would check the float level and make sure the inlet needle for the float is clean and moving freely. It sounds like you are getting fuel at a slower rate than the engine needs to continuously run. You can also have restrictions upstream in the fuel valve, fuel filter or fuel pump. That should be easy to test. You just take the fuel line off the carb and crank the motor and collect the fuel. More than an ounce or two in 10-20 seconds of cranking would be good.

Be safe and good luck!

As far as the pump gose just use a 30 weight oil they call it pump oil but realy its a 30 weight oil if you want the # its AW-4085-0016 or equivlant . The engine oil is a 10 -30 in most tempatures they say use a 30 wight above 40 degrees but i use mobil one extend proformance 10 -30 all year long in all of my mechines and have never had any problems and there all honda engines . Just change the oil every year some of mind are 35 years oil and run perfictly

Check your spark plugs, see if they are failing, if they are then your motor is getting to hot. meaning that you either have the fuel mixture set to high or the setting on the spark plugs are not correct causing you to burn hot.

Please rate

It can be probably the spark plug,change the spark plug.

honda pressure washer ohv was running great died like someone turned of the switch ! has spark, oil full, sparkplug looks good any ideas please.

15-40 there will be a fill mark that is easy to see when you remove the cap or it will have a dip stick

Second your oil pressure switch may be bad or have a bad connection

HI, It sounds like it is just stuck on the keyway as these can be very tight. You need to force the pump of evenly on either side and should come of if patient.

It sounds like an air lock. Try this: With the machine off, connect the hose to the washer and let it run for several minutes to get all of the air out of the hose, and to purge any air out of the pump. Shut off the water, and connect the high pressure hose, but not the gun. Let the water run for several minutes. stretch out the HP hose and make sure that the air is displaced. Shut off the water, connect the gun, and purge as before. Now crank it washer up. As quickly as safe to do so, open the trigger to keep water moving through the washer. It should come up on pressure very quickly. It is better during normal operation to keep water moving through the system. When I am through for a while, I shut down my washer, but leave the trigger depressed to allow the pump to stay full of water, and cool. This prevents further problems when I restart it.
Hope this was useful.

FIRST...check the engine oil level. Some Honda engines have an oil sensor that shuts off the spark if the oil is low. This would also explain it shutting down when it get hot. Check the manual to see how to tell if the oil level is correct. Also, the oil should be brown and transparent, not black. It may need changing. Post again if this doesn't help :-)
