Portercable 737 tigersaw can't keep a blade in the quick latch

You can try spraying some lubricant into the blade holder. Sometimes the "ball" in the shaft gets stuck from dirt. Otherwise you will need to disassemble it by removing the roll pin that holds the collar on the shaft.

Portercable Pressure Washer Model PCH2401

when the trigger for the wand is not pulled , there is a pressure relief valve that bypasses the water in the pump and so there is no pressure until the trigger is pulled again. with the pump getting hot and not being able to pull the motor to restart, it indicates that that pressure relief valve has jammed ( faulty ) and the pump is running at full pressure all the time That will heat the pump and stop the engine from restarting That valve is where I would start looking for a problem

I have a porter cable sawsall and the blade broke off right at the quick release. I've tried pulling the release off to get the blade out but the bearing will not let go of the blade. Any ideas?

Use a safety pin (one of the larger, stout versions) to poke into the assembly and depress the retention bearing...

I have a porter cable 16' variable scroll saw. the tension knob on the back will not stay in place, hence making the blade loose, how can I fix this.

Try some blue LocTite thread fastener. It's an anaerobic-hardening resin. Remove the knob enough to get a drop onto the threads, then snug it up. Going forward, repeat as necessary. Just a drop. Better than lock-washers. Scrollsaws basically just vibrate their little blades up & down.

Won't stay running

Your description describes a "No Fuel" problem. Start at the fuel tank and move on to the carburetor. At the fuel tank check that the fuel shut-off valve is open (if applicable). Inside the fuel tank, attached to the pet-cock, is a filter (check that it is clear). Look for kinks in the fuel-line (kinks would prevent fuel flow). Last would be the carburetor. If the carburetor is dirty or clogged, it will need to be removed, serviced, or replaced. Good luck. P.S. If this is a newer unit then use care. Do not use Carburetor cleaner on it. Because of the plastic components, it will ruin the carburetor. Instead, go to the parts store and request a product called "Seafoam". It comes in a red and white can and is great. It is slow working so the carburetor will have to soak overnight. Please let me know how the repair goes.
