pressure washer wont start image

Night Ride

I get it all ready to start turn on the water and prime it but it will only start for a second then turns off. Seems to me that it is only running off of what im priming it with. I dont understand why it wouldnt be getting fuel it has oil. Thanks for your help.

Answer
You are correct about the engine running on the fuel from the primer. The main jet in the carburetor is plugged and won't allow fuel into the engine. The fix is to remove and clean the carburetor.

i have a mobile detailing service, my pressure washer locked up and i let it sit for a couple of days and tried to start it again now its turning over but wont start can you help me?

Answer
When a machine locks-up it is never a good thing. However we will do our best to get you going again!
There is some information we must have for a fair diagnosis.
Does it have oil, did it run out of oil before it locked-up?
Is there fresh gas in the tank?
Is the air filter clean?
Did the unit turn over?
Is there resistance when you pull the rope?
Is there spark to the spark plug?
With the answer to these questions a diagnosis can be more readily prepared for you.
