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.

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.

SOURCE: karcher pressure washer works only with low pressure

The inlet screen orientation is of no consequence. Either way should work fine. Check two things...

1) Many of the spray nozzles have a high and low setting at the tip of the wand (where the water comes out). See if your nozzle has any "Push-Pull" movement (with the unit turned off). If so, it might be set in the "LOW" setting and needs to be changed.

2) Located on some SIDE MOUNTED pumps is a "Variable-Volume" adjustment. It may need to be turned to increase the flow and should be marked with a plus (+) and minus (-) along with direction arrow.
NOTE: If your pump is mounted on the bottom of your engine you will not have this adjustment.
Hope this helps!

SOURCE: low pressure on the pressure washer

Most likely your "O" rings or seals have gotten hard and are leaking. Sorry I don't know your equipment well enough to tell you how to change them but you can most likely find the info at your manufactures web site.

How do I remove the front cover of a K3.65 Jubilee to gain access to the components

If you mean removing the yellow cover then you will need long handled torque screw drivers, these are located at the back of the machine if memory serves me correct, or some models you need to remove the wheels first o get at the starting screws.

Hi i have a k3.65 jubilee model when switched on it constantly surges and the water pressure is not as good as it was its only 10 months old.any advice

Have the hose pipe running into a bucket/container and use another short length of hose from the pressure washer to **** the water out of the bucket, that way if the bucket is full when you start, any drops in mains pressure wont affect the pressure washer as their should always be a reservoir or water to keep constant pressure.( you may need to prime the suction hose first, just hold the 2 hoses together in the bucket of water with pressure washer on)
Any questions ask
If this helps please rate me

Hi My karcher k3.65 jubilee is leaking water when the pump is switched off from underneath

Hi This could be just the water inlet channel broken or split. You will need to remove the yellow cover via the screws at the back of the unit and then connect the water hose to see where the leak is coming from. If the water comes from underneath the pump then you will need a replacement pump seal kit of which you can purchase on the Internet.

How to connect the cold water supply to K 3.65 Jubilee? In the instruction leaflet, figure J, number 1, 2, and 3 I seem unable to connect it. The above is a pressure washer.

Hi all you need is a 3/4 tap fitting from a diy store.
Maybe a hoselock 3/4 male and female fitting that will fit a standard 1/2" hosepipe. If struggling I can send you a link to the fitting on ebay but if you type in karcher tap connector you will see it by the seller vavcandwash.

Karcher K 3.68 M operation

These units have pressure valves that automatically turn off the pump once the pressure is high enough. The pressure switches do fail and sometimes stick and act as you've described.
