Pressure washer hard to pull string
Unless your unit is equipped with an easy start feature...and I think these are not, it is not usual to have to pull the trigger on the water gun to start one of these units. Also...if there is any chance that the washer has tipped over, there is a possibility that oil has gotten into the engine cylinder. Oil will not compress and the rope cannot be pulled..at all. Remove the spark plug and step back away from the exposed hole. Pull the recoil handle and watch for spraying oil from the spark plug hole. Pull a few more times, clean up the plug and the unit may start. If not, you may have to remove the carb bowl and drain more oil. Check your oil fill level. If your gas level is suddenly low you may have gas in the oil crankcase and need to change your oil. When the washer starts it may blow smoke for some time before it clears up.
