You probably helped destroy the engine. Honda's are great engines until they run low on oil

Trouble shoot pressure washer with new pump runs for 5 min then bogs down and dies. Cools off runs good loses power and bogs down what's wrong

Check that the oil you have used is the correct viscosity (Thickness) If too thick, it may be overheating and stop the unit from working.

What kind of oil do you put into a Excell pressure (exh2425) washer pump? Do you use the same as engine oil (30 w)?

Pressure washer oil

I took this picture of my power washer so it's easy to explain the oil.
The oil is different for engine and pump.

The pump oil is 20 or 30 weight non-detergent. SAE20 or SAE30 motor oil. The level of the oil comes up about half way. There is a plastic viewport on side of pump ... oil comes up half way on viewport.

The engine oil is 10W30 motor oil. It comes up about half way or a bit more on dipstick.

To remove oil from pressure washer, do not turn engine on it's side or turn engine upside down or motor oil will run into the carburetor. You might wonder how I know that. Afterward, the carburetor needs to be cleaned out.

To remove oil, you can tip engine to the side but not so much that oil runs up into top part ... to remove the rest of the oil, you can use a plastic hose

I have gas in the oil fill and oil coming out of the exhaust of my Ridgid pressure washer. I lent it to my father who isnt mechanical at all so anything could have happened while he was using it. He has...

Check to see if the oil is overfilled first.

If the oil is at a normal level, the engine was probably overheated or ran low on oil.

It is also possible that the machine was tipped over and oil ran into the cylinder.

On a generac pressure washer that works fine.

Oil level in pump and motor OK? Spark plug not fouled? Has it sat for a while - carb dirty? Running (loaded) throttle rpm not high enough?
