pressure washer drain cleaner image
Mike
I have a practically new craftsman pressure washer (briggs and Stratton motor) that will not start. The gas is fresh and I get a shock when I touch the spark plug wire and ground it.

Does it have a valve to shut the gas off? If so, make sure it is open so the gas will flow through from the tank to the carb. You may need to take it to your local Sears store and see what is going on with it. If you let it set for a long time with gas still in the tank you may have to take the carb off and tear it down and give it a good cleaning. Gas today isn't like the old gas used to be. If it sets for very long it will gum up a carb quickly. Need to either drain all the gas out or add an additive to it if you intend to let it set for long periods of time without use. Putting new fuel in with old fuel will not work if it is gummed up inside the carb.

Accidentally put oil in the air filter in a pressure washer's engine?
Panba
Yesterday while trying to set up a pressure washer, I accidentally put the motor oil into the air filter spot. Turned it upside down to drain the oil but the engine starts and stalls. Not sure if it's ruined forever or what to do. It's a Robin engine and a Karcher pressure washer.
Answer
It is unclear to me how you would put oil into the air filter but you should never turn an engine upside down. The first thing to do is check the oil level in the crankcase. It should not be above the full mark. Remove the air filter, if it has oil on it replace it. Clean all the oil from the air box (where the filter goes) and install the new filter. Remove the spark plug and give it a few pulls. Replace the plug and start it up, it may smoke a bit but should clear out.
