N/A


I have a 3800 psi dewalt pressure washer and im wanting to turn it down to about 3000-3300 psi but im not sure to tell what psi im at while turning the pressure down.
If anyone could help me out id appreciate it!
Thanks!



Answer
What you would have to do is connect a pressure gauge between the end of the hose and the gun. Run the pressure washer with the gun's trigger pressed so there's water flow and check the pressure it is shooting water. To adjust it to the pressure you want you can either use the unloader to regulate pressure or adjust the engine's rotation which would also regulate pressure.
If you need a gauge here is the link to a 5000 psi one. There are more on the website in case you think this one is too much.

Briggs and Stratton engine wont start?

Asking this question for a friend. He said that the engine acts like it is not firing or getting spark. He replaced the spark plug, also checked the air gap on the magneto...still nothing, he said. Wants to know how much compression the engine should have with a regular automotive Compression gauge? Could the engine be "OUT OF TIME" or have a broken key way??? The engine is on a pressure washer....about 3 years old. CRAFTSMAN. Any ideas would be helpful. Wouldn't fire or try to start using Starting Fluid also, so he doesn't think it is a fuel problem. Thank you for any suggestion or help in advance.


Answer
Briggs & Stratton does not rate the compression of the engine, we recommend the use of a leak-down tester. As for the engine not starting, the most likely issue is a clog in the carburetor. The carburetor should be overhauled and cleaned. After that you can check the flywheel key to see if it has been sheared. Then check the spark plug wire on the magneto and that it is connected properly.
