I have a Karcher 3000 psi with Honda GC190 6.0 engine. At 25 months, home use 2 summers, engine cam came apart & timing belt cut in half. Mechanic say he has seen this frequently with Honda engines. Is this true?
Re: I have a Karcher 3000 psi with Honda GC190 6.0...
I have a Karcher K2300G pressure washer with a Honda 5hp engine, with a 3/4 shaft. Can i change out a complete 3000 psi pump in place of the 2300 psi ?

get an empty half gallon plastic coke bottle, cut the bottle in half and use the bottom part to collect the oil, remove the oil dipstick, place the cut bottle under the hole and tip the engine on the side.
If engine has a place for oil, then use ordinary gasoline. If engine does not have a place for oil, then you use 2-cycle mix with the gasoline
If you have a power washer, there are normally 2 places to put oil. 1) in the pump head >> use SAE20 or SAE30 >> fill it about half way. 2) At bottom of engine is a screw-out plug >> use 10-W30 oil >> fill until it comes up 1/2 or 2/3 up on dip stick.
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.
Well would you believe that I have the very same problem. I suspected that the pump was seizing up, so we tried the pump on another unit and it worked fine. On inspection of the motor we found the cam (which also operates the decompression mechanism) was worn out. It's made of hard plastic. It is only about 7 dollars too, so cheap enough to fix. I have mine ordered now and feel pretty confident that that should fix it.
