Pressure seems OK when trigger is pulled. Release trigger and unit pulsates as if the pump is going on and off.
The motor doesn't pulsate when you are spraying and pulsattes when not spraying is normal otherwise the pressure will just keep building and burn out the pump. However, if you are not using the sprayer right away then the unit should be shut off until your ready to start again.
I hope the answer is helpful, please rate if the answer has helped in any way. Good Luck and have a great weekend.
The pulsating is caused by very small cracks in the control head.
Here is a link to a picture showing the cracks: Karcher Control Head cracks
It is talked about in this video: How to FIX Karcher pressure washer at 7:00 to 7:08. The guy in the video calls it the "cylinder head",. but he means to say "Control Head".
