Most small 2 cycle engines run on a 50-1 ratio.

I'd love to help but need more info. Look for the model # on the base frame sticker. then can you give me a better description of what you need.

i'm sorry to say but if you happen to have a vertical motor you'll be better off buying a new pump for 150.00 online.if you see the casing is made of pot metal which corrodes from the impurities of water mainly chlorine.stay away from pressure washers that have a shaft downward like a lawn mower they much like consumer use only for residential 1 to 3 times a year.find one with a horizontal shaft where you can have a much better chance of getting it fix or get replaceable parts for.feel free to question me i've been in this business for 30 years.ps a replacement pump with a solid brass head would be better the main killer to these pumps is that they leave the unit running with trigger closed which causes pump tp rapidly heat up and cause failure you must squeeze trigger within 3 to 4 minutes tops so that the heated water in pump head has been released.

Ok the first thing you need to check is if the spark is fireing. To do this you need to remove the plug plug it into the spark plug cap hold it on the cylinder head pull the engine over it will pull easy and see if you have a blueish spark jumping the gap on the plug . If you do its not an electrical prolbem . Then put the plug back and plug the ignition wire back and remove the air cleaner see if it will start then .witch the choke on . If it still won't start try pouring a small amount of fuel derictly into the carbuator if it runs for any time at all or even starts to fire then its a fuel issue eighter bad fuel or clogged filter or carbuator needs to be cleaned. You can even put a small amuont of fuel right into the spark plug hole then put the plug back in and it should start You need spark fuel and air for any engine to run if you have all three its automatic it will at least fire Good luckwith this

See this link on how to change oil and recommended oil types:

Eighter you have a stuck or damaged valve in the water pump body witch would be under the brass caps on the pump or there is a problem with whats called the unloader valve witch is the valve that you adjust the pressure with and allows the water to recuralate through the pump with the trigger for the gun off. Bolth systems can be cleaned and lubed but the unloader may not be seriviceable as far as parts go . But these things work with a lot of Orings that are standard sizes and leaving them out side in the winter with out antifreeze in the system trnds to create problems with bolth of these systems

A few things to try are to locate and clean air filter if it is a foam material then itcan be gently cleaned with a rew drops of dawn dish soap.and warm water. Pat dry and gently blow out with compressed air if possible.Let dry thourghly before reinstallation.I have used dawn soap for years because it does a good jod of dissolving grease. If filter is a fiber type or if foam is badly torn then it needs replaced.
Remove cover from exhaust and remove spark arrestor. If it has much carbon build up on it then you can clean with spray carb and chock cleaner.Blow out excess wiyh compressed air and brush any remaining particles of carbon with a fine steel brush let dry and reinstall. Check plug for proper gap and condition of electrode. If it has much cabon build up then try to scrape clean and reset plug gap.Check porcelin insulation to make sure there are no hairline fractures in it. If in doubt then replace your plug. Also check gas tank cap to make sure that the vent holes is open.I hope some of this helps you. Thank you very much.
