Pressure washer too hot
Allowing your pressure washer to run without pulling the trigger every few minutes will over heat the pump. The recycling water gets hotter with the constant friction. This is reduced with a n external bypass or a tank. On Banjo style unloaders it is important to allow the hot water out frequently.

Just skip the gun setup right, no help.
@FrankieDisMe the gun is just an LX80. Same gun on all small electric Titans. This is not like an HVLP gun or an AA gun
Can you open the cylinder head to show
@westaucklandroofcoatingsdan I will try to make a video. I don't work on engines much, too many others doing that.
Can you show a video of how to fix a muffler on the engine that vibrates and threads the bolts and falls off a solution?
@westaucklandroofcoatingsdan you can install a helio coil. You drill the holes out slightly larger. Insert the new threads and you will be able to bolt up again. If you need a source let me know
May I ask Brian, When there are a few weeks (2-3) after using the airless sprayer before using him again with (acrylic paint) do I also put anti freeze in the machine for that time? Or left the machine empty after cleaning for few weeks? I suppose it's not good to keep clean water in the machine during 2 weeks.
@rolandsegers6482 if freezing is a concern, use antifreeze. Water is OK for short term storage like this.
Thanks Brian for your kind answers always, you are great!!!
@rolandsegers6482 very glad to help
Mine is not the same.

Will do forsure man! So obviously take the fluid section off first as well rite?
Hi Brian, I live in Thailand and here cannot buy that fantastic machine. So I bought a "similar" one, name Guchen 390 coming from China, for about 300 US $. I will start using him in about 3 weeks. What do you think can I expect from such machine? Outside it looks completely as a Graco 390 but of course not same quality, I am not naive. Have to say that I need to use the machine only for one project, a condo, walls and ceiling with good acrylic paint. My tips are 517 (walls) and 619 (ceilings). I am an old guy... 75. Greetings and thanks.
@rolandsegers6482 this should handle everything you need to do. When you have completed the job, leave antifreeze in the machine to keep the inside conditioned and corrosion free
Thanks Brian for your quickly reaction. Here in Thailand there is never frost so cannot find antifreeze. But what is available here is Toyota Super Long Life Coolant, pre-mixed (pink colour). Can I also use this product?
@rolandsegers6482 yes, that will work
Finally, I find a video with the exact same problem I was having yesterday… My hose exploded on my Dewalt 4400… And I’m not quite sure why. The first time I started it it stalled when I released the trigger… The second time I started it and released the trigger. The hose blew up and almost injured me.
Can I just back off the pressure by adjusting the pressure knob so it doesn’t surge again?!
@T1mmy230 this means the pressure is too high. Yes, you can turn the pressure down to prevent this. There should be a lock collar to prevent them from turning the pressure up too high
What does the unloader do on a presser washer.
@ottocarr3688 the pressure washer will build pressure continuously. The unloader will "unload" the pressure down to the low end to recycle the water when the pressure exceeds the setting. This happens when the trigger is not being pulled. Without the unloader, the pressure washer would over pressurize and shut the engine in a good situation or rupture a hose in a bad situation
@ Thank you very much!
@@ottocarr3688 no problem, glad to help
great info thanks
@@f.m.anderson8020 glad to help
the internal if the belt driven are double than the internals of the direct driven pump (provided the specs like PSI and GPM) are same or nearly the same. Thats why the physical size of the belt driven pumps are double or more than the physical size of direct driven pump.
I have new Simpson 4400 psi, 4 gpm unit that I think has the unloaded built into the pump. I used it for the first time this week with a pressure guage and it registered 3300 psi with a 4000 spike. I now know the spike is too high. I want to adjust the unloaded to 4000 psi but that would drive the spike too high also. Well after about an hour of running it it blew out the guage and also noticed my 5 gal bucket with soap and ash was totally full. Where did it come from? Also the black knob on the unloader is sctewef all the way down. Oh, I was running a 22” surface cleaner so should not have raised the pressure tight? Help please.
Great job! This completely assisted me through my repair
@@bermbuster6 very glad to help. You can help support the channel with super thanks
Plug the bottom and let the top flow to the ground, never will get hot.
@jackel61-007 you can do that, but the creates an excessive use of water and a big muddy mess. Many places like HOAs will not allow that
Hi. thought I’d throw in my repair. 495 PC pro. received some light rain in back of truck. dried it inside and attempted to run. clicked for a sec then nothing. LED was giving the 3 blinks. i replaced transducer. Still no stroke. nothing. except led changes to giving continuous fast blinks. no interval. i think all connections are good and it wasn’t wet or appear fluid got in control board area. pump is less than 5 gallons on it. Thanks in advance.
*pump was replaced on 4 year old unit
@@nathanbareman9453 so now you have just rapid blinks, no pause?
that is correct.
@onegoodnathan1727 disconnect the transducer, turn it on. Turn off the machine and plug in the transducer and turn it on. Tell me what happens
@@Brian_the_repair_guyso did that. it now gives a similar no interval constant and quick blinking. but no motor action. Am I suppose to have the unit in complete working order for this testing? Like the fluid section isn’t installed nor dump hose or prime/spray valve. But the board gets power to the led light snd
Whats the name of the part ? I hite it to hard i need to replece it. And where do i abuy it? Thrnk you
@@fabianaguilar6255 which part?
i have a dewalt 3600, started leaking from the same spot, does it has to do something with the hose diameter? thank you.
@@lafinest47 exactly where is it leaking?
@@Brian_the_repair_guy between manifold and pump.
@lafinest47 if you have a leak between the manifold head and the crankcase, then you need water seals which would be in a rebuild kit for that head
@@Brian_the_repair_guy im meant from the 3 small holes where you pointed, looks like a small fountain.
@@lafinest47 can you give me the minute mark in the video so I can go back and look
So Would it be wise to make that pressure hose longer so it cools the water even more ?
@smokeydabeecharlescoleman8365 you can make it longer, some will leave it open or allow flow back to a container or tank
Great explanation for a new starter like me. I have watched many videos, even the instruction manual of my new machine but no one explained the significance of free moving nut while connecting paint hose to the spray gun to allow for swivel action of the gun with hand movement. I was in a fix to see why the nut at the inlet of the spray gun kept turning. Thank you for your explanation. Also, thanks for explaning right and left placement of the spray guard/tip hoder for right and left direction of spray. Great work!
@coloursofniji I am glad it helped you out. If you'd like to support the channel consider a super thanks.
Would you recommend this machine or the small competitors?
@agent7agent759 I am very pleased with this machine. I can see this filling the needs of many painters. If used within the guidelines of what this machine is meant for, I would suggest the machine. I am not sure which machine you are comparing it to. So it would be difficult to make a choice as to which machine would be better. What machine are you matching it against?
Against graco quickshot, saying that I understand the capacity size and volume and that 400 extra umph it has plus the drip less gun , but again it's very hard to decide , here in Canada the titan costs 1400 plus tax and graco is 2000 plus tax , and I own the 395 and 9.5 hvlp units , 2 different animals, the only reason I want the small airless is so i don't have to load a 50 ft hose with paint and the same time I dont want to keep re filing the small cup of the quickshot, so I am kinda aiming to titan and wanted to consult you if it's worth buying it , thank you for your informative video
Thanks man, well explain.
@@CesarAndrade-f6r glad to help
Great video! Will this procedure work for a pressure washer that fell in a pool? It was only in the water for about 5-10 seconds.
@terrybrennan2534 this will work to remove the water from the cylinder if it did get in. Along with draining oil and gas, flushing out the full fuel system as well. After removing the plug, check to make sure you have fire before going too far. If the coil is damaged, you have other concerns first
@ thank you very much, I appreciate your help! Happy holidays to you and your family!
I have a pressure washer I’m building and using a Honda gx390 and a used cat 310 pump. I think it’s only capable of pumping 2300. Is this going to be a problem?
@@Dblood85 is this direct drive or bely drive?
@ it’s going to a belt drive.
@Dblood85 you must make sure that the pulley ratios do not allow for the pump to exceed the rated RPMs. Otherwise you are good
Could you possibly tell me where I can buy a belt guard/ pulley & belt. As a kit?
@chaseconcotelli4933 that is a hard one. Pressurewasher.com is good for belts and pulleys. The guard is usually proprietary to the company assembling the machine. Who makes the machine?
Thanks for this...just followed step by step🎉

This is probably one of the best videos I’ve ever seen on a titan/ Graco airless . I subscribed and hope to see a video on repacking machines I own titan 440 , Graco 595 Graco gh230 . I’ve seen other videos but I like the way you explained what’s going on. Brief and to the point
@@DanHenderson-u2r thank you for watching and subscribing. I try to get to the point of the videos as fast as possible, but remain accurate and safe.
If it is 100F outside the bypass should just go to ground or back in the holding tank not back into the pump. That is just silly.
@@mlhm5 why would that be? 100f does not register on the thermal dump. A washer with a banjo unloader, based on your thoughts, would never be used during the summer in the south. There is no way to divert from recycling through the pump
Thank you so much for making this video. It helped us get one of our machines running again.
@@steaks3451 glad to help
Thanks!
Thank you for your support
Great video! My problem is that I have great pressure when I first start using my washer, but within a minute or less the pressure starts slowly dropping down to basically just the pressure it was before cranking the motor (virtually none). Any suggestions? What’s really confusing me is the fact that it starts with great pressure.
@@indd1172 either the valves need replacing or the packings
Ok, I’ll take it apart and see what’s going on. Thanks for the reply!

I have this exact AAA pump. It's only been used about 4 to 6 times. Last use was 6 months ago. I hooked up my water hose and the wand. No water is coming out of the outlet, even with the pressure hose disconnected. No leaks anywhere. What should I look at within this pump? I removed the valve assembly and noticed the hydraulic pump is working perfectly. I sprayed a lot of silicone, wd40 and white lithium grease inside the pump and left it for hours, still no water comes out. I checked the filter screen, it's clean, I have removed every part 1 piece at a time and lubricated each component, then went on to the next. I did not see any corrosion inside and all o-rings and seals are like brand new. I removed the unloader valve and made sure it was springy on the end touching the ball bearing. Again, there is no corrosion and all o-rings look and feel like new. I'm totally stumped. What do you recommend I do next?
@@x.x..x.x make sure each valve will open and close. Next remove the high pressure connection on the unloader where the pressure hose connects. Then remove the fitting between the fitting between the quclick connect and the unloader. There is a spring and a valve that looks like a bullet. My guess the small holes are clogged
@Brian_the_repair_guy Thanks for your thoughtful and prompt reply. You sent me thr right direction. It's fixed and running properly now. Thanks again!
@@x.x..x.x fantastic
I just built a pressrue washer with a Honda GX390 I rebuilt, and a Cat 66DX40G1 pump I rebuilt. Went through the entire pump, replaced check valves, valves, seals, unloader, thermal valve and pop-off valve, ez-start was rebuilt, brass was all de-tarnished and polished, fluids changed, etc.. new frame, hoses, lance, etc.. entirely new, or like-new. Runs like a dream. 4000 PSI, 4.0 GPM.
@@GlassWolfLH great job. Nothing like learning your equipment
Is it better just to straight up and check these values? Probably good to number each nut.
@@robbiej2805 I suggest checking the valves anytime pressure is low. The plugs are interchangeable

What happens when we do all this in the video. And also adjust the valve lash properly but I still cant pull the recoil starter when the spark plug is IN. But it pulls freely when I remove the spark plug.
@@cesarcesar5129 if the recoil works without the plug, but not when the plug is in, then you still have fluid in the cylinder
@@Brian_the_repair_guycan I clean it with solvent. Carb cleaner and take the head odd and use a cloth?
@cesarcesar5129 it is easier to blast air from a compressor into the spark plug hole if you are having trouble clearing it out
It’s a GX390. I already had the head completely off because a valve was stuck. I’ll try the air compressor in the morning. Thanks for answering my question! You rock🤘
@@Brian_the_repair_guy is fluid in the cylinder the only thing that could cause that problem?
What does it mean when no water comes out of the wand at all? Even if I disconnect the high pressure hose, no water leaves the outlet when the motor and pump are running. What part or parts should I take off and look at? Thanks
@@Bomar1981 there is a clog in the pump. Most likely the outlet valve I believe one of my videos addees this. Pretty simple to check

Hey, I just got a new 395 and used three times and the second and third use about every 4 or 5 cabinet doors it will lose pressure and starting running like it’s out of paint and I will have to re-prime and will be good for a few more doors and do it again. What could be the problem?
@@MitchellJordan93 that will happen if bits of trash get in the pump, bad packings or ball (not likely) or your inlet hose is loose somewhere
Thank you for this video. It got me out of a jam in the middle of the night when my solar batteries ran out of juice and I needed to switch to my generator. I had just tested it out a few days before and all was fine. So I put it away but had hurt my back so tipped it on end to move it with a trolley. Didn't realise this would happen. I do now. So thank you from Outback Australia.
@@michaelvanwest6262 I am very glad to help. Not sure if I had anyone from Australia comment yet.
I have a graco 390 that will prime fine but will not build pressure to spray, it will spray but it is very low on pressure and does not stop running even when trigger is not being pulled
@@ivantrejo7134 when the machine continues to run with no trigger, that means it is not priming. That means either the packings are bad or the upper or lower ball is obstructed. Check both balls. I have a video on that

@@randybeard6040 I have never heard of that happening
Brain, 1) in this case machine calls for 3000 psi, i assume 3000 psi is at rest meaning not while pulling trigger. is my understand right. 2) how much PSI i can loss up on pulling trigger. i think in this case around 500 PSI, if i loose like more than 1000 psi what would be the problem
Brian, I have GX200 honda engine that has 3/4 shaft. i dont like AAA garbage, planning to put Cat pump. CAT 2SFX30GGS3 Pump 3/4 GAS 3.0GPM 2000PSI you told me long time ago that PSI is based on engine, so is there a way i can increase 2000 PSI to 3500 PSI. on this pump if so please advise how do i do it. Will i adjust unloader and will it take me close to 3000 psi. just to let you now current engine and aaa pump support 3600 psi.. much apprecaite your help.
@@sivucit the engine does play a big role in how much pressure the pump will provide, it is not the only factor. The engine can allow for increased pressure compared to the units factory settings. That is not to say you can always increase the pressure. With that said, I do not think the CAT pump will be able to reach beyond 2500 psi safely. CAT pumps are good, but pricey and parts are harder to locate and more expensive. I want you to consider Annovi-Reverberi RCV3G27-PKG from watercannon.com. it is rebuildable, inexpensive with a removable unloader. You can contact them for further suggestions
Brian, changing pressure washer valves on those AAA pump is really pain the bud, it doesnt comes just like that, i used infact reverse pliers stil it wont budge, i have to heat it, then pull it out.. not sure it is jjust me or this brand .. any advise or tips you have to take those stupid stuck valves.
