Anyone know about small pressure washers?

Billabong

I've got a fairly new Craftsman pressure washer (Briggs engine). This thing has been giving me trouble lately. Basically, I'm not sure if it's the pump or engine. What it does ... mostly when it's idling and less frequent when spraying I get this "kickback" or "snap" that you can hear and feel in the wand. Almost like the engine is missing or like the pump is failing. Sometimes I have to trigger several times before I get steady pressure. The only thing I've added on it recently was a high pressure side soap injector. It seems like the problem is stemming from the pump but I'm not sure. I don't have a lot of hours on this one at all.

Answer
it almost sounds as if you are sucking air make sure your water connections at the house are tight also when not in use make sure your soap injector valve is off you want too keep that pump from freezing also because those ceramic pistons are expensive they cost me $ 35 a pop I was lucky I only needed 1

excell pressure washer no pressure?

Answer
Try cleaning out the nozzle at the end of the wand. A lot of people think their machine is shot when it is only a piece of sand plugging the nozzle. You may have to poke it out with a small wire, or disassemble the nozzle to get down to the small orifice that is plugged.

Also check to make sure the chemical injector is not open. This would cause you to suck air and get no pressure.

pressure washer injector image

Laurie Pau

Having trouble starting truck. Starter just clicks have also had a code for no STA signal to ECU?(its a new battery) and connecting starter straight to battery starter works fine..Also when the truck wouldn' start i unbolted the fuel pressure damper on the front of the fuel rail to see if i had fuel pressure which i did .Now i have a leak at the crush washer what size is that crush washer ??.Another question i have is when i press on the the brake pedal before i put it in drive it wants to stall .I read on forums at high idle pressing the brake pedal cuts power to the fuel injectors is this true ?So could my idle be set slightly to high ?? Thank you to all of you for your help i have posted on forums but had no replys

Answer
When you mention the brake pedal making it want to stall, it's definitely saying a vacuum problem to me. The brake booster is vacuum operated and on my 1985, it used to draw the engine speed down when I pressed the brake pedal--I had a vacuum line connected to the wrong place.

Start with a vacuum diagram like this one (1992, but should be the same)

...and make sure each vacuum line is going to the right place and that there aren't any damaged lines.

Here's a video explaining how to check for vacuum leaks:

Sorry, I don't know what the crush washer size is. Take the old one with you to an auto parts store.

is there such thing as a edelbrock electronic fuel injection system for a diesel?

Jonathan L

If so would it be a good idea to put it into a 6.2 liter chevrolet k5 diesel blazer how much power would it add and would it help gas mileage?
The diesel blazer is fuel injected but I dont know much about that kinda stuff

Answer
No. The diesel is injected through a pump that is mounted directly to the block, and is powered by the rotation of the engine, and is timed. Think timing gears. An eletronic injection system would have to use timing sensors, and with the amount of vibration that comes from the 6.2 it would destroy it in short order, not to mention it would just beanother part to cause intermittent problems making a diagnosis harder. There is nothing wrong with the setup they have now. The injector pump creates a lot of pressure, and the pressure is adjustable. But you can put it too high very easily. A properly timed and adjusted injector pump gives great mileage. I get 17-25 mpg's with mine. Check it out in the link to my photobucket page. The way a diesel is injected is not the same as a gasser, think power-washer versus aerosol can. Diesel is under high pressure, that creates the heat that ignites the atomized fuel, where as a gas engine uses a spark to ignite the fuel air mix. I learned everything about diesels working and building mine, the same with gas engines, and diesels are by far easier to work on.
