Run some carburetor cleaner through it first. Go to autozone, etc, and pick up some fuel system cleaner you can put directly in the tank and run it through.

SOURCE: Ryobi 3000 psi pressure washer detergent injector

Most detergent injectors work by the venturi system. That is that the detergent is drawn into the stream by the forward flow of the water thru a very narrow port after the water passes thru the pump. This system works best when the pressure at the tip of the wand is low. Trying using a very large tip to draw in and apply the detergent, then remove injector and rinse with high pressure. Not good for the pump but to apply soap reliably under high pressure the soap needs to be injected through the intake of the pump. enjoy

Your nozzle could be plugged or partially plugged. Also, try running it with the high pressure hose taken off to flush the pump.

SOURCE: Karcher G 3000 BH Engine Pumping Problem

This may not be a motor problem. It sounds like your pump is not working properly and the motor is just following the pump. First thing to do is check for leaks in the pump, wand hose, gun etc. It may also be a blown water seal inside the pump.

How to Change a spark plug?

All you need to do is remove the rubber boot that covers the spark plug. This is the wire that transmits the current to the plug. This just pulls off. Once you expose the spark plug you get a deep socket to fit in around the spark plug. Probably a 5/8th, could be bigger. Turn it counter clock wise, pull out and replace. Done deal. There are spark plug sockets that have a retaining gasket in it that holds the spark plug as you pull it out but not necessary.

Ridgid rd80702 will not start

Sounds like the float is stuck open. A few taps with a screwdriver handle on the fuel reservoir might fix the problem.

Ridgid pressure washer motor runs choppy when choke is disengaged

The choke reduces the air flow into the carb. If you are having problems with the choke off, it means that not enough fuel is getting into the engine and it is running lean. When you choke it, the reduced air flow causes the mixture to be correct and it runs fine.

Engine stalls out while using pressure washer nozzle

Pump issue. There is not much you can do but try spaying silicone into pump output port to loosen up the bypass and load valves. If no glory you need a new pump.

Check to see if the oil is overfilled first.

If the oil is at a normal level, the engine was probably overheated or ran low on oil.

It is also possible that the machine was tipped over and oil ran into the cylinder.
