SOURCE: Karcher Motor Pulese On and Off

hi mark, you do have a problem with the lance.
you need to disconnect the lance and straighten a paper clip and insert down the nozzle end.
use the machine to wash the dirt in the nozzle backward down the lance.
Dirt only in nozzle end.
if still no good, purchase some nozzle cleaners and file out nozzle very slightly.

SOURCE: karcher 2.56 keeps pulsing on and off whenever high pressure nozzle is attached. I have tried different nozzles and same thing is happening. when i press the lance without any attachment it works fine

Make sure you have bled all air from the system. Also make sure you have sufficient water supply; if house water pressure is too low or if your hose is too long or doesn't allow full flow, you may not be getting enough water to the unit.

My Karcher 530M runs ok until I release the trigger, then it will not start again unless I switch and allow the water to run through for about 15 secs before switching on again

Hi Cliff:
My experience is that the pump pressures prevent the engine from starting, so we hold the trigger while starting.
My brother has cut a wedge of wood that he uses to jam the trigger open to bypass the problem. It can get a bit wild if the wand is not secured when the unit is started..

I have a Karcher K3.540 pressure washer. Won't take up detergent and motor pulses ever second if vari-lance increased towards maximim. Motor runs ok at lower pressure but can take 1min to start wh

This fault is within the control head, under the detergent valve is a small spring loaded valve that acts to induce the detergent, this will have failed, the shaft of the component breaks off the disk base leaving a small hole in the centre of the disk. This is enough to allow pressure past the component. The machine will pulse when operated and will not induce the detergent. I've looked everywhere to find this part as I have a karcher with the same fault.

I have a Karcher KB5050 it started to pulse when the trigger stopped

Is there water leaking from the bottom ? If so, then you have a leak in the pump. Bad seal or crack in the Pump.
If under 1 year old and have a receipt, Call Karcher for a warranty replacement.

Karcher pressure washer keeps pulsing when not in use and has lost pressure when in use

This can happen if the head of the pressure pump has split. You may need a new head, and to stop this happening again, tie the rigger open with a zippy tie. The water will run all time now and automatically bleed any air form the system. When you want pressure, turn it on at the main switch. This will prevent hydraulic hammer, (when you pull the rigge)r, which is what causes the head to split.

The motor is pulsing on and off without the trigger being pressed

It is probably sucking air on one of the connections or around one of the fittings at the regulator. You can also turn the pressure up allittle on the regulator, that might stop it also. Make sure the clamps on the hoses going to the regulator is tite. Also it could be that the regulator is just bypassing water and if it has air in it it will pulsate.
