If you are using a water tank for water supply, remove the water supply line from the pressure washer and connect a water hose from a faucet. Turn the water on, then crank the engine. Pull the trigger of the spray gun until water comes out. When then water starts to spray properly the release the trigger, shut engine down with pressure on the line then reconnect the water supply from the tank to the pressure washer. If this fixes the problem then the problem was "air-locked"! Happens alot with new pressure washers that have never been run. If you need any other help, please email me @ [email protected]

Hi!!
Some guns get stuck when leftover water rusts their components, that happens quite often. To find out if there is a clog. remove the outlet hose from the pressure washer and turn on supply valve, if water circulates freely, reinstall outlet hose and remove spray gun, turn on water supply valve, if water comes out, take spray gun apart and clean components, that should take care of your problem.
Good Luck!! A HELPFUL - 4 THUMBS - rating for this solution would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for using FixYa!!

Honda powwer boss 3000-whenyoupull the handale to spray it kills the engine

Sounds like the unloader (regulator). Try removing the nozzle, the pull the trigger with the engine running. If motor is still running then it could be the Unloader malfunctioning. If you require a new one try a bypass system for the unloader. The bypass will help save the life of the unloader.

Throttle linkage is loose and when started water does not come out the nozzle after BEING BLED OF AIR

The unloader on your pump is bad...this is causing both problems. Find your pump model # ...probably an AR pump ...they fit the Honda GC engines well and go to this site Pressure washer parts catalog quick links Pressure Washers High Pressure... they can guide you to the correct unloader... Good luck

Unloaded valve not working properly

ensure that you do not have any leak not one drop coming from the output of pump to the end of nozzle not one drop after releasing trigger if so replace leak these unloader valves rely on trap pressure if pressure not trap she will cycle over and over.

Does anyone have a answer as to why all of a sudden theres no water and presure coming out of my jet washer

If there is no water from you power washer it is because the is no water going in. Check fitting is connected properly. When you pull the trigger and the machine is not running you should get water coming out of the nozzle That shows that water from the tap is passing through the machine. As to no pressure that will be a fault in the regulator valve that is not reacting to the trigger setting and allowing the pump to build up pressure. It is still reading as if you haven't pulled the trigger

HOW DO I DRAIN THE WATER FROM MY HP WASHER FOR WINTER

What I've always done is just disconnect the water hose then start the washer and pull the trigger till no more water comes out. You don't want to run it very long at all after there's no more water though, you can quickly overheat the pump if it is ran without a water supply for too long. I've been doing this for the past 3 years with one of my washers and haven't had any problems with the pump.

Won't stay running

Pressure washer when you first try to start them that stop underload. We had the same type of problem with 11 hp Honda if you hold the trigger open the motor will be under less load we found by running the motor for about a minute it would work normally. Remember to make sure the water hose is turned on pull the trigger on, until water is coming out of the wand , now try and start the motor but also hold the trigger open, now you will not be building maximum pressure, after about a minute release the trigger and see if it keeps running.

Not knowing exactly what type of pressure washer you have, most are equipped with an "unloader valve" so the pressure bypasses. If this is malfunctioning, the pressure will build up and bog the engine down.

How do you drain any water that might be in the

Once you have finished with the machine, and it has stoped running and has the inlet hose disconnected., leave the engine switch in the off position and while holding the pressure gun trigger on, pull the starter a few times to pump out any excess water. If it has been a cold night you could leave the machine somewhere a bit warmer for half hour before using it.
