Pressure washer?

LA_08

I need a pressure washer for a mobile car wash what type of pressure washer should I be looking for (PSI,HP, and GPM)

Answer
For cars only you simply need a 2000 psi..You definately want one with a ohc engine on it..not the common mower type engine...Most "honda" engines on pressure washers are ohc's (overhead cams)..get one that has a gun that has exchangeable tips and not the ones that you twist the heads to adjust it...these bend and clog up and require buuying a whloe new gun... 5 hp is plenty good..3,5 actually for just cars will

I took apart my pressure washer pump and gear oil has spilled all over. How do I reassemble?

X-Men

I took apart my Karcher K2400HH pressure washer pump unit from the engine and now gear oil is all over on the ground. I think I took the whole pump unit out and now I need to reassemble it back again. How do I put it back together, where do I fill the oil back in and what type of gear oil should I use? Any help would be appreciated.

Answer
I had the same problem with a Generac Model No 1537 2400PSI washer.!!! This unit has a 5.5 HP Honda engine.
I'm a builder, and one of my customers gave me this pressure washer after he had problems with it. Seems he left it with the gas in it for years and gummed up the carb. He told me his daughter ran it without the water turned on and burned up the pressure pump. He bought a new pump, but had no idea how to replace it. When I removed the old pump, I had a flood of oil on the garage floor. The new pump was a Briggs and Stratton kit #193473GS, and did not have the wet bearings of the original. It bolted right up to the bottom of the engine and works like a charm.. It took a little cleaning with Gum-out to get the engine running, but now it works fine.
I remember that there was a drain plug on the side of the pump shaft housing, but nowhere in the service manual did it tell you what weight oil went in there ,or how much.

I have a pressure washer with a 5 Hp briggs& stratton engine. The pump is made by Water Cannon. I've searched

joe b

engine by Briggs & Stratton is model#133432. Pump is made
by Water Cannon ,model 3205. Searchall I can to locate info on this engine & pump. Water Cannon made the pump but did they ever put a 5hp gas engine with this pump. I think it's pretty old and wounder if someone swaped something . Water Cannon is primarily with Honda engines. Funny though, it runs but weak on water pressure. Help!!!

Answer
Check the regulator, it should be a rectangular box with adjustment screws all around it. You may have a store that specializes in that kind of equipment that may be able to help you figure it out exactly.

pressure washer 5 hp honda image

Jordan Cam

Motor 1 is the Honda 340GX commonly used on pressure washers. (4 stroke)
Engine Type: Air-cooled 4-stroke OHV
Bore x Stroke: 88 X 64 mm
Displacement: 389 cm3
Net Power Output* 10.7 HP (8.0 kW) @ 3,600 rpm
Net Torque 19.5 lb-ft (26.4 Nm) @ 2,500 rpm

Motor 2 is the 85 Honda Odyssey motor (2 Stroke)

Displacement: 342 cc (20.9 cu in), 329 cc (20.1 cu in) after recall
Compression ratio: 6.7:1
Carburetor: 32 mm (1.26 in)-throat Keihin

Answer
That Odyssey engine is almost an antique, probably worth more to someone restoring one rather than someone trying to build a go kart, they had some problems and parts are hard to find, the 340 gx on the other hand might not be as fast out of the box but there are performance parts in the karting world that would blow your mind, plus there plentiful and relatively cheap, in either case you will need to know how to work on engines, repairing and finding parts for the 2 stroke of modifying the 4 stroke, the 4 stroke will have a better more even power band and torque, where as the 2 stroke will be faster and make more HP as long as you keep the RPM up, lose that and you lose the HP and torque, as in stalled on the side of a hill, the 4 stroke will have more grunt but not the top speed so to say, if your looking at the stupid fast 2 stroke engines I'd ditch the Odyssey idea and start looking at the multi cylinder snowmobile engines like Rotax, Bombardier, Yamaha or the likes.
