Answer
I bet your not depressing the trigger on the gun handle when you start it are you? This makes them hard to start and will also ruin the seals in the pump..you always squeeeze the trigger and let the water flow for at least a minute to get all air out and keep holding the trigger while you start it , or it will start and bog down and die..you will decacipate the pump..IS this what is happening?

Plz Help...? about a pressure washer?

Daniel

I have a Coleman Powermate 2400 PSI 2.3 GPM Pressure Washer and when I hook the water up to it, it makes it die. What is wrong with it? What can I do to fix it?
i have the water hooked up and when i pull the trigger it boggs down and dies

Answer
daniel, it could be a whole lot of things. you should have the water hooked up and running before you even start it.
does it start easily; how long does it run; has it been fine, and just started this; have fresh gas; clean air filter.
have you checked anything on it or know how.
would be glad to try and help. post some update or email or such.

Any help? The pressure wand sprays water out, but water then starts to leak out of the part where the handle connects to the wand shaft. Please help!
And yes, i did go to the website and searches for it, but noting came up.

Answer
I work on pressure washers for a living and see this daily! It's just an "O-Ring" has split and is allowing water to leak out. Find the o-ring that isn't an "O" but more of a "C" and replace it, problem solved! Sears has o-ring kits in the stores with several sizes of o-rings in it. Use the instructions included to select the right ring!
