Mike

spark plug is removed,? engine has correct amount of oil. why is the cord not able to pull
Also, the discharge hose and garden hose are removed, no water pressure involved at all! Was running great the day before. Washed 10 x 15 ft deck. Next day ran for 5-10 minutes and stalled without any warning. If engine is seized, HOW did that happen? Oil is "full to line"....please what did i do wrong? This machine I borrowed from a friend and is it up to me to buy him a new one and be out 300 bucks with nothing to show for it but a clean deck? It is only about 12 hours old!

Answer
When mine did that it was from the water pressure that built up while sitting and not running. Pull the trigger on the gun to release pressure...worked for me. If that is not the problem your engine could have seized up.

Randi M

I need help finding out where the oil plug is located on a troy bilt pressure washer model number 020344 before I can change the oil. I would like to do this before I use it this summer.
Thanks for any help.

Answer
The manual states you can change the motor oil from the top by tipping it over and drain it from the dipstick hole with the air clearer side up as you tip it. You can drain it from the bottom by removing drain plug with a ratchet and square extension, oil can be drained from engine bottom. Also you must change the pump oil every 50 hours or once a year according to the manual. To change the pump oil, use a 8mm allen wrench to remove black pump oil cap between high pressure outlet and garden hose inlet. I have this pressure washer and I change the oil from the bottom. There is no drain hole near the dipstick on mine

I have a Troy-Bilt pressure washer 1 year old. I can not get any pressure there was dirt in pump outlet pipe?

PC 20-04

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

I have a 3500 psi simpson pressure washer. Bought in 1997 but hardly used. What type of oil does the pressure pump requires? Although I did not use it more than 30 hours but the oil level seems to be low.
Thanks,

Answer
I use straight 30 weight, but the link below suggests a special blend for the manufacturers motor.


".... and made a visit to the local Napa Auto Parts store looking for oil. The guy told me to use 30 weight Non-Detergent oil. He said heâs worked with many a pressure washer and they all took the same oil."

Pressure washer pump oil?

ED

I have a brand new (not used yet) Craftsman pressure washer. I cannot find anywhere in the manual where it talks about pump oil. Is there even oil in the pump, do i need to change it periodically? I don't want to do something incorrect and end up paying for avoidable repairs.
Forgot to add this is a gas unit but i am wondering about the water pump, not the engine.

Answer
don't think there's oik in it unless its a gas powered unit and then if its a 2 cycle gas engine they take a gas/oil mix in the tank and do not require oil in a crankcase
