Does it matter? Are there spares kits available? A seal that leaks under pressure will not necessarily be obvious as you strip it. Could be a scratch or score in one of the rigid parts. Are you used to stripping and rebuilding stuff like this? How much do you like a challenge? --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |

Are you used to stripping and rebuilding stuff like this? How much do you like a challenge? I had a Karcher which developed a leak on the high-pressure side somewhere near the hose connection on the main unit, with water spraying out of the vents. I took it apart, but could find nothing wrong. After reassembly, using the same washers, it worked perfectly, and has continued to do so, although it is only used as a spare now. You are right about the challenge, though. Karcher used three different sizes of screw (Torx headed) to hold the thing together, and six different sizes of "O" rings! -- Jeff |
