Could be low oil. Most motor turn off as a protection when the motor oil is low. Also, recently I have a similar problem, with a easy solution, just don't push the accelerator nob all the way, leave a 1/4 before reach full power. Apparently some times there is a bad calibration an make the carburetor over flow.

SOURCE: Engine runs for a few minutes then stalls...

It sounds like vapor lock or other lack of fuel. Premium gas will cause detonation and "may" have something to do with it. Drain the fuel the best you can and add regular fuel, after a couple minutes the engine should be burning mixed fuel and if the problem goes away you have fixed it, if not you obviously have other issues.

My 2600 troy bilt pressure washer starts and pumps for about 4 minutes then it cuts off, my question is why ?

could be several things. replace the spark plug and try it again. if that don't fix the problem then the coil may need to be replaced. when an engine gets to operating temperature or hot some times the spark plug or coil will start breaking down and it will die. after it cools off it will start again.

Pressure washer runs for 15 minutes then shut itself off. Overheating? I have to let it cool for 30 minutes before it can be used again, may be for 10 minutes before shutting down again. What can b

Not enough water VOLUME and pressure to supply the pump with a steady flow of water. Water is cavatating (adding air to the water) and the piston is heating up and jambing. Try using a larger size hose diameter and a shorter hose to supply the pump.

I have the exact same pressure washer and have had the same issues with it. The cure for me was to simply run the washer with the gas cap loose. For some reason the fuel gets vacuume locked and stops flowing into the carb. The fuller the tank is it seems the shorter the time is between the time it starts and the time it shuts off. Or you might find a way to vent the cap. Hope this helps.

Have you checked your oil level?? Small engines have a cut-off switch if your oil is low...mine is topped off so this is not the solution for me..but it could possibly for you.

Hello. Your carburator is gummed up. Get a can of seafoam fuel additive at the auto parts store and put the recommended amount into the gas. This will clear up the problem in just a few minutes. Joe

I have a PW1686 power washer but it runs for a few minutes then cuts off. After a few minutes it starts again then goes through the cycle of on and off. Kindly tell me what are the possible causes.

The problem sounds internal (perhaps the temperature cut-off switch or the auto-start-stop switch). For safety and possibly warranty reasons, you should not open the case to investigate or repair; take the unit to your local service center.

I have a union power pressure washer it runs for 10 minutes and then cuts off and wont work again, it still needs the choke on when the engine is warm and only runs for a few seconds

"it still needs the choke on when the engine is warm and only runs for a few seconds"
This sounds like a fuel problem such as the carb needs cleaning

Cuts off in warm weather after about 10 miles

Don't rule out fuel pump. Had a 95 do the same, ran great when cool in morning then when it got hot in afternoon, it would quit. Wait 15-20 minutes & go again, sometimes got me home, other times a few more miles until it cooled down again. Luckily I had access to a fuel pressure gauge. Cool in morning had 49 psi, when it quit, 2 psi. Wait 20 minutes, 49 psi again. If you can drive it around until it starts to act up then run into a repair shop for fuel pressure test it will confirm it. If not, they may need it all day to monitor the fuel pressure & confirm it is pump. If your a gambler, change it & fuel filter. One thing I did get was trouble codes indicating a lean mixture, due to starving for fuel. Have you cycled your key to retrieve any codes yet?
