When first got pressure washer it was very easy to start now it kicks back very hard.

Answer
The only way that this can happen is that there is too much oil in the crancase.Check the fluid level,on on LEVEL surface,while the engine is cold.Another reason is it may be flooded.Pull out the spark plug and pull the cord a few times.Replace plug and try it then.It it was flooded (fuel), your filter could be wet or dirty,check to see if the air filter is wet or dirty.Check the plug to see if it needs replacing.

i have a mobile detailing service, my pressure washer locked up and i let it sit for a couple of days and tried to start it again now its turning over but wont start can you help me?

Answer
When a machine locks-up it is never a good thing. However we will do our best to get you going again!
There is some information we must have for a fair diagnosis.
Does it have oil, did it run out of oil before it locked-up?
Is there fresh gas in the tank?
Is the air filter clean?
Did the unit turn over?
Is there resistance when you pull the rope?
Is there spark to the spark plug?
With the answer to these questions a diagnosis can be more readily prepared for you.
