Could also be crack/leak in HP pump. If it were left in cold weather without antifreeze, I'd check there first. Part + labor might warrant new washer if more than a couple years old.
Sorry.
If you have compression then the first thing you check is for spark. If you have spark then you move on to the fuel system. You will have to pull off hoses at a couple of points to see if gas is at the carb and further along. If it is the carb then a simple carb kit will work.
Power washers are often not used for an extended period of time. This often leads to the tiny passeges in the carburetor getting clogged with the gummy residue left when the gasoline evaporates. It is usually not old gas in the tank that is the problem as much as the residue left behind when the gas evaporates in the carburetor. Cleaning those ports ( orifices) is usually what is needed.
If your machine has a fuel shut-off valve you can save a lot of time , trouble and money by closing the fuel shut-off valve and continuing to pressure spray water until the engine empties the carburetor bowl of fuel and stops. With no fuel in the carburetor the ports will stay clear.
Hello, The problem with it not drying is most likely going to be a worn out blower wheel thats slipping and not moving the warm air through the clothes to dry them properly. Always a pretty good sign the blower is slipping is,if you hear a rumble noise from the dryer at start up and also that same rumbling noise when the power stops. So if you hear it at start up...wait 30 seconds and open the door and listen for the rumble noise as drum stops. also you can check where the vent exits the house and see if their is air flow when the dryer is running.
To evacuated the oil from what I believe is the gas cap area, you are going to need some type of a siphon pump to remove the oil. A total engine tear down might be needed depending on where all the oil is. Remove the spark plug, and turn the engine over, if you are getting oil coming out the spark plug hole, then you are going to have to either tear down the engine, or leave the engine sitting in a way that you can drain all of the oil out of the system.If no oil comes out of the spark plug hole, then you should be good to go once you siphon out all the oil
I have a 5hp honda power washer sat for 2 years it will only run if I spray gas in the carb as soon as I stop spraying the engine stops I have took off carb and cleaned it
