I have a Troy-Bilt pressure washer 1 year old. I can not get any pressure there was dirt in pump outlet pipe. I cleaned out the dirt but now it will not build up pressure. Motor runs fine and if you wait a minute it will build up some pressure by not pulling trigger but will quickly drop.

Answer
check your water intake
" " your filters

" oil the pump throws!!

good luck

Why does my 6 month old troy built pressure washer stall out when water is hooked to it?

razor

My grandmother passed away recently and I was given her pressure washer... Someone stored it over the winter and it wouldn't start... Carb gummed up. Now it runs like a champ but as soon as I hook water to it it will run and then bog down quickly and die?? I'm good with engines but I don't know where to start with the pump? It's a lowes brand troy built 2550 psi 6hp gas powered model. I've started it a couple of times without the water but never more than a couple of seconds and it was purchased in November... But not properly stored. It looks bran new but I don't know what to do now.

Answer
The throttle speed might be set too low, set the throttle to high.

You might still have carburetor issues, be sure you have enough water feeding the pump.
