Hi all,

I was just having a tidy up in the shed and found a Karcher K4.99 that
I think I was asked to look at with/for daughters ex.

I've just powered it all up and it runs and stops on the trigger
(doesn't pulse) it's just that it doesn't have any 'ooomph'.

Now, Googling about has suggested it's just the rubber seals in the
cylinder head but the only way to buy them is to buy a complete head
(~12 quid on eBay, no problem) but has anyone found a way to just get
the washers / seals for when it happens again please (assuming it's a
weak point)?

Is that typically the fault or can there be other reasons (assuming no
leaks etc)?

How long should it last once fixed (e.g. is it worth doing in the
first place)?

I'm probably only doing it for daughters ex (who ewe all still get on
fine with) and to clear some room in the shed as I already have a
little Kew Hobby and daughter has the Nilfisk E145 ... and I'm sure he
could make use of it himself and I believe was given to him by his
grandpa (so has sentimental connections).

Cheers, T i m
