Default Honda powered pressure washer question

I fixed the mower next door (14 HP kawi) it filled the whole motor until it
was over flowing the carb. Drained it put a new oil filter new carb float
needle, put some oil in and hes been mowing since. I had to drain the
muffler too, it was about 1/2 full also, sure could have lit right up if I
started it with all the gas in the muffler.

A client asked me to take a look/repair his honda powered (5hp)
pressure washer. Said he loaned it to an employee..that individual
said it ran then quit. When client fired it up..said it sounded like
baking powder can full of marbles.

I pulled it through..felt like it had sufficeient compression, then
took it outside to load in the truck. On a whim..I checked the
oil..and as I unscrewed the dip stick..a fountain of gasoline came out
the crank case. Like 2 gallons

Any ideas of where to start looking, or what the chances of the
bearings being washed out are?

Ill try to check it out tommorow, time permitting
