Thank you for taking the time to make this video and post it. The information was very helpful and I got the power washer up and running. The gas had dried up and left deposits in the jets. My local repair shop wanted at least a hundred dollars and is backed up three weeks to repair so this was very helpful to me!
Glad i could help. $100 bucks is a fair price. Sounds like at least you have an honest shop near you.
@@smallengineguys I thought $100 was okay just needed to get the washer fixed as the weather was perfect and couldn't wait three weeks. Your instructions made it very easy.
Thanks so much for creating this video. I followed every step and was able to get my 2500 psi washer working like a champ. Prior to cleaning the carb the motor would only work on full choke
I followed this video exactly and got my unused, sitting in corner of garage Generac Power Washer up and running using this video.
Thank you for posting this one
3 years ago you posted this video. I have the same model. Thank you for this. You saved me time and money!
A year ago I couldn’t even tell you what a carburetor was, but goddamnit, I’m fired up to try this!
Thank you for this video. This wife here made it start again. Only problem I had was leaking gas after reconstruction. Just needed a new seal! It fired up! 👏👏👏
Nice! Now make the husband wash the car
@@smallengineguys lol….he mowed the grass!
This was a big help, thank you for posting it. Especially thank you for the link to the new carburetor and acid. I bought a new carburetor and intend to clean the old one. That way I will always have a working carb for quick switch out.
good idea
Thank you, it worked w the gold test acid, you are an expert in your trade sir.
Super helpful. Thank you very much. Got my Generac up and running in 45 minutes.
glad i could help
Left mine out in the rain one day . This helped me get it running again. Thanks 🙏
Glad it helped
Thanks for the video. I've got the same model and it will start when I spray carb cleaner in it and then shut off. I knew it had to be fuel related and your video confirmed it. I'm going to do the carb cleanup this weeekend.
easy as pie
@@smallengineguys I just wanted to let you know that I tried cleaning my carburetor 3 times and I still couldn't get it to fire up so I said to heck with it and bought the new carburetor from your link. Just got it today, installed in and it fired right up. Thanks again for the great video and the Amazon link. Best $22 I ever spent.
Well done and have excellent results with my Power Washer. Many thanks for this excellent presentation.
Our pleasure!
Thank you this is actually what I have to do, this might seem silly when you turned the switch on to test it which is the on position the one with the / or the one with the 0 , on the side of the pressure washer??
It doesn’t say on or off I hope u know what I’m asking
this was a terrific video. i like to fix things myself, even though i'm not the best at it. i watched the video and cleaned out my first carburetor! now that is off my bucket list.... lol
easy once you know
You helped me fix my Westinghouse 3200 psi.. Great vid.. Thanks
Great to hear!
Great video... couldn't get the acid in Mexico, but it still worked thank you
yeah its an american amazon link
Great job and thanks for you’re little liquid trick 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Any time!
The acid is a dilute solution of nitric acid. Vinegar (acetic acid) works just as well, need to leave longer.
First carburetor cleaning! Excellent video!
Thank you!
Good video thank you
What brand of carb cleaner spray do you reccomend. Can I get it in Canada?
i use the cheapest brake cleaner or carb cleaner from your local parts store. make sure it isn't chlorinated that stuff sucks
I have the same one. I have large quantities of gas in the crankcase. It pours out from the filler hole. New carburator? Regards, Bo
Thanks for making the video! Great video!
Glad you liked it!
never worked on one of these follow this and the in about 15 minutes was running again, main jet was plugged.
nice!
Thank you. I have the same pressure washer. I bought it used. For 25$. It had water in the oil from a bad pump I think. I drain the oil twice. Going to fill up again and drain. Will the engine be ok. Or is the engine no good now. Dont want to buy the pump if the engine is no good. The engine does run. Just Surges. Should I just buy the carburetor and pump. Thank you. Great video
engine is fine clean carb or buy new one replace pump you got a good machine.
@@smallengineguys Thank you. I am going to buy both. Just to make sure it run good. Very much appreciate you getting back.
What is proper valve clearance?
7 intake 11 exhaust i think
Hey man! Great video, so I have this exact model and followed everything in the video minus the acid, cause it’s not here, and need to know what kind of oil to use. I cannot get the thing to crank at all.
10w30. Spray some carb cleaner in the carb. Try starting. Does it fire up and shut off?
@@smallengineguys it doesn’t fire up
I replaced the spark plug already too
@@rdcraig777 ok so check spark and compression. If you have spark i bet compression is off. Could be something wrong with the valves. Pull valve cover. Do you see anything out of place? If no spark you may need new coil.
Hey how you doing. I got I pressure washer that was swathing for a some time. I took it of part to clean it up. But I don’t remember if the crankshaft have to be in a specific position 0065950 - Generac 2,500 PSI Pressure Washer this is the pressure washer
im sorry im not sure what your asking me
I have this same Generac power washer. Out of the box it wasn't working. I did following the directions for start up. Drained the factory oil and added the supplied oil. The engine is running rough and really bogs down when trigger is pulled. Pressure is pretty weak. It died after about 15 min and the spark plug is WAY fuel fouled. Any suggestions on what to do? I'm about an hour away from the closest warranty provider.
Clean out the carb. Pay close atention to the needle valve. Sounds like debrie is trapped under it. Worst case scenario buy a new carb. Link is in the description. Warranty places are usually months behind.
@@smallengineguys thank you sir!!
@@smallengineguys update, sometime in shipping it may have been turned upside down. Air filter seems to be completely oil soaked not allowing any air intake. I'm ashamed I didn't notice this but the man I paid to fix it had experience with it. Now I have to find an air filter.
@@bt2749 its a 5.5 Honda clone

When I tried to take the float it is stuck. I can’t get it out. The jet stays in the body. Any ideas?
soak it in diesel and try again. other than that its new carb time.
@@smallengineguys I soaked it in carb cleaner for a few minutes and was able to wiggle it out. The needle and jet were corroded. I pulled and cleaned them. Fired right up! First pull
So got mine running good, but forgot to shut off the gas valve came home from work the gas leaked out on the floor. Is that a bad needle ?
yes needle valve is dirty
I have fuel and oil mixture coming from the crank case ventilation hose going into the air box causing it to flood and shut off. What could be causing this?
The carb leaked gas into the cylinder past the rings overfilling the oil. Clean carb change oil.
Thanks for the tip about yellow gas. Drained the gas tank but see little flakes/ rust dust. Any suggestions on how to get it out? Thanks!
Wite vinegar and nuts or short bolts. Shake it around. Vinegar kills rust nuts nock it off then get it all out blow out with air coat with 2 cycle oil.
Thanks so much! If I can see the spots on the inside of the tank where the rust is starting, is it possible to coat/cover them to prevent further corrosion (some kind of paint or sealant) or just do the oil coat? Thanks again!
@@KGrant-ty3oy i use an exspensive coating. Just out of town. Its in my channel. Look up gas tank sealer. It should pop up.
In the same carburetor for a 4200 Generac power washer?
No
I just took apart my generac 4200 air filter/ carburetor. Basically built exactly the same. The video helped. Carb looked clean so I’m going to change oil and put fresh gas
@@jupitersjunk4718 its same style yours is just bigger
I bought the same power washer brand new and once I filled it with gas it started leaking, it’s like right behind where u turn the engine on and off(the 2 orange flips in the front) was gonna call customer service but they’re closed
Should I just return it for a new one?
fuel line may be disconnected under gas tank id return
In general, I was looking to see the position of the back spring attachment, but could not get a good look. can you snap a photo of how the springs are attached from the carburetor?
I dont have it here anymore.
Help !!!! The little spring you removed came off of mine under the gas tank ! Ugh where does it go do I have to remove the gas tank ? Thanks so much for any help
no it goes to the governor arm. same as throttle rod.
@@smallengineguys thanks so much it’s in work and I’m going to fix on Monday
How much Horsepower does that have?
Hi, My power washer is getting gas in the oil. What do you think? is there something I should look for?
Thank you for the video.
it is your needle valve. you must clean the carb the needle valve is stuck open. its under the float. or new carb is in the description thats the easiest way. make sure to change oil when done before starting.
After cleaning the carburetor, putting back together correctly, it starts runs, but really runs rough. Not a nice steady purr, any suggestions ?
clogged air filter? dirty plug? gas in the oil over filling it? carb needs to be cleaned again? it happens to me all the time.
@@smallengineguys thanks, ill check that also..maybe oil in gas..
The orange handle for the gas switch broke off any way I can just order that lever piece or do I have to buy a brand new carburetor????
Ive never seen one sold separate online. However go to your local shop they may have one laying around. I have some. Same as a 5.5 honda.
Water coming out of the oil input spout is a sign of what?
bad seals. new pump time.
@@smallengineguys can I just replace seal or is the pump destroyed
Mine loses pressure. Not constant but if I pull the trigger on the wand it still spray with force. However, if I keept the trigger pulled it loses pressure and just squirts water. Is that an unloader valve issue?
needs a pump amzn.to/3zKxkkI
@@smallengineguys Damn I was hoping you weren't going to say that lol
cheap easy fix. click the link it will surprise you
@@smallengineguys so it needs a carb not a pump?
@@jenkinsljenkinssquire9137 no it needs a pump i replied with a link to the pump
How do you remover the bowl?
10 mm bolt on the bottom
Ethanol free is usually high octane . Whats up with not using high octane ?
high octane still contains ethanol. it also goes bad faster than low octane. non ethanol fuel is rec 90 most commonly
@@smallengineguys glad you cleared it up I've been using Rec 90 non ethonol
@@oldtimedrumcorps perfect
I have the same washer I cleaned the carb and if I put a little gas directly in the carb it starts for a few seconds and dies any idea what I should try next?
Clean carb again. It is carb
also make sure fuel is flowing out of the tank well. did you clean tank? didnt forget any gaskets? sometimes you have to just replace the carb. carb fuel lines gaskets
amzn.to/387QNi8
I cleaned the carb again and now it runs great until I start pressure washing, the power goes up and down like it wants to shutdown and if I stop pulling the trigger after a few seconds it smooths out and runs fine but if I start washing again it does the same thing, Rundgren just idling
Runs great idling
@@karenjackson4203 bad gasket? Not fully clean. Jet is only letting out enough fuel to idle not to full throttle
Jesus Christ quit saying uuuummmm🤦♂️
ummmm
ummm
