There are videos on the site that show how to troubleshoot this. The issue is most likely a valve that is sticking open sometimes.

Dear mike husband,
One reasin for this fault could be a damaged lance or turbo lance. Try by replacing with new ones. If the problem is not solved, then the fault is due to a damaged spill valve. The spill valve could easily be damaged by using not suitable chemical or detergents. After using chemical detergents, one must always rinse the machine by passing pure water. The spill valve could also be damaged by leaving the machine for a long time with pressure in the system. One must never store such machines with pressure still inside. Always press the gun before storing.
Well the solution is to change the spill valve with a new one. In some cases even faulty suction valves can give this problem. But in the majority of cases it is the spill valve.
If you do not know how to fix this problem, it is better to be done by an expirienced technician.
Regards,
MG.

Try this. While pushing the trigger of the gun, turn lance fully anticlockwise and then turn back fully clockwise.

Karcher power washer model G 2000 QT can't keep running unless I shoot starting fluid into the carb has it lost its prime

A clogged carburetor is most commonly caused by leaving fuel in the pressure washer for a long period of time. ... This sticky fuel can clog up the carburetor and cause the engine to run stall. If the carburetor is clogged, try cleaning it with carburetor cleaner.

My Karcher MX720 pressure cleaner keeps tripping the mains power.

Jeff, the specs say it is 230 volt, 16 amp minimum, start up would be more, probably minimum 20 amp.or larger, check your manual. Are you using a small gage/ low capacity extension cord this could blow a breaker or may have an internal short have checked by a Karcher repair center. Check the attached links,instruction and guides, Good luck

I have no pressure and the pump surges when i release the trigger on my electric karcher modle k 2.360

If you have a Karcher then you should always post your machines barcode.

Because you have the low pressure and pulse this will be the valve block. Your machine has 3 piston and each has 2 valves (inlet and outlet). Because you dont have the barcode, i cant be sure if you will buy a valve kit of 6 valves or a pre-assembled manifold block.

it could be this machine and spares :
http://www.sparesgiant.com/cleaning-equipment/pressure-washers/karcher/k-series-parts/k2-range/k2-36m16724300/

The karcher barcode is on a silver sticker and is usually 15 digits long. Example 156987400000123 is actually model 1.569-874.0 and serial number 00123....

My Kärcher K2.080 pressure cleaner (1450psi /

According to my search, Karcher has a 2 year warranty on this product. If you can get the serial number and model number off of it. They should be able to identify when it was made and then can honor that warranty. Otherwise the pump seals appear to be damaged by your description of the problem. Hope I've helped.
Best, Mark

Getting the cleaner into the system

You will need to adjust the lance on the end by twisting the end of the nozzle. This way the machine draws chemical at low pressure.
