Okay so this shows how much I don't know about Power Washers. I took
the thing to a local lawn and garden shop and had their service person
take a look at it. He checked out a few things for about 30 seconds,
pulled the pull start once and viola it started to problem. Turns out
that you can only start those things if you hold the trigger and
release the pressure that is built up in the engine. He said never to
start it without the trigger being held down. So after feeling like a
complete idiot I took his advice and the thing has been working great
ever sense.
Perfect! This problem has been happening to us for years, and we knew if
we let the thing sit, it would eventually start. Many thanks.
I have an electric one that will sometimes trip the breaker
if I try to start it without the spray trigger valve open.
I've gotten used to starting it that way. Guess the same
principle applies to gas.
