The mix of them occurs because of gasket(thin sheet) defect, which is responsible for not mixing the oil & water.. that must be replaced & this service should be done through authorized/qualified service repair person.

Generally the only place a mix could happen like that on a pressure washer would be bad rings on the pumps' piston. This means that if you have an oil reservoir there will most likely be water in there as well.

Is the craftsman gas powered 2700 psi pressure washer to strong to wash cars and trucks?

yes -- it will remove any loose paint then keep going to take all the paint off
if used around the mechanical bits ,it has the pressure to blow in gaskets and force water into places that water would not normally get to

Pressure washer runs about 10 minutes then cuts off

Could be low oil. Most motor turn off as a protection when the motor oil is low. Also, recently I have a similar problem, with a easy solution, just don't push the accelerator nob all the way, leave a 1/4 before reach full power. Apparently some times there is a bad calibration an make the carburetor over flow.

What would cause oil to turn milky white?

That is the typical color when water is mixing with the oil.
Probably a leaking seal or gasket.
The washer will need servicing.

I cant start my power washer. the pull start is locked and wont release to start engine.

When the pull start gets locked, you have to release water pressure from the wand. I had the same problem last year.

Hello
Take out the spark plug and try pulling,if it is still hard then then there is a problem with the pull start mechanism.
Check the plug for oil fouling or fresh oil.If there is excessive oil you may have bad rings.

If in doubt, craftsman will honor the 1 year warranty no questions asked,for a new unit.

The first thing I would check would be the oil level, to make sure you didn't put in too much oil. If the oil level is correct, it could be a stuck piston ring, letting oil blow by the piston, and out the exhaust. If this is the case, you are going to have to tear down the engine.

Hope this helps!
