Default Power washer with Honda engine won't start.

Trash it and get an electric one instead. Duh.


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.
