I was using my pressure washer and managed to get the hose against the engine for about two seconds and it blew a hole in the hose. This is the second time this has happened. I really hate to buy another hose if there is a way this one can be fixed.
Does anyone know a way to fix this without replacing the hose?
Thanks,

Pressure Washers operate at HIGH PRESSURE and any leaks from the hose can therefore be DANGEROUS!!! A small hole in such, can act much like a scaple.
Depending on the pressure of the system it could even be LIFE THREATENINGLY DANGEROUS!!!
Have the hose repaired by an AUTHORIZED dealer for the specific brand of hose you have.
IF the hose can be repaired, they will be able to tell you how it can best be done to meet your needs.
The two possible options are a mender (a single fittings that permanently joins two hose ends, to achieve a single length of hose) and a new set of couplings (Mating couplings that effectively create TWO shorter lengths of hose).
*** No other forms of repair will be able to withstand the pressures involved. ***
If this is the SECOND time this has happened to you, it would seem prudent to place some sort of shield over the engine to keep the hose away from it without reducing the cooling effect of the exposure needed by the engine, or employ some sort of retaining device to keep the hose away from the engine.

Troy-bilt pressure washer repair question?

The washer will not run when the water is hook up. If i disconnect the water than it will startup just fine. You can feel the binding when the water is on and hooked up when you pull start it. So given that the pump is bad. What is bad on the pump? Is the repair kits a good idea or just buying the new universals pump for 100 bucks? Any advice or experience would be appreicated.
Answer
when the water is connected to the washer try pulling the trigger on the gun without the washer turned on if water comes out keep the trigger held for a few moments to prime the washer then try turning it back on. if no water comes out of it at all even when turned off then it sounds like there is a blockage some where check if there are any filters in the pressure washer they are usually behind where u plug the hose pipe into. try screwing it off and giving it a rinse.
Also pressure washers should never be used without water connected to them as this can damage the compressor pump very easily
