UPDATE:1 year and still cranks within the first 2-3 pulls. Probably will buy another when this one finally does bite the dust th-cam.com/users/postUgkx43QMbQqu67IZadu9ou8Sg1BdrunMRNqX . No issues at all. Very happy with it.UPDATE: After 6 months of use and over 70 uses I would still highly recommend this pressure washer. It does vibrate a decent amount but never had it “walk” like others have mentioned. No oil leaks, still seems to run like the day I bought it. Still cranks within 2-3 pulls every time. Very happy with my purchase!Have used it about a dozen times now. Plenty of power, cranks up on 1-2 pulls every time. My only complaint would be I wish it was a little taller to make it easier to walk with it (hits my ankles a lot) and that the two hose connections were a little further apart but it hasn’t caused me any issues. Seems to run a good 1-1/2-2 hrs on a full tank, overall a well built machine and definitely worth the money in my opinion.
This video saved me a lot of time with the installation. I got one on sale at Cosco last weekend and put it together last night. Pressure washed my whole driveway and my car. This is a good pressure washer! Thanks for the videos!
I just put mine together and it started right up, first pull! Fyi, my instructions say fill the oil up until it starts dribbling out, the way you would fill a car differential. So I guess I ignore the dipstick index? If you have access to an ethanol-free gas station, use that fuel. Lasts twice as long before gumming things up. It's about $6 a gallon here in Oregon for 92 octane (about 70 cents more than E10). I use it in my chainsaw and dirt bike too.
Thank you so much! I used to be a stickler for reading entire manuals before doing anything. But it's so much easier to watch this. (Don't worry, I"ll still consult the manual ;)
I figured out the hose strap. 1st slide the hard Velcro side through the top with the hard Velcro facing the power washer till you get to the ring in the middle of the soft Velcro. 2nd loop the hard Velcro through the same middle ring and pull tight. That will keep the Velcro on the plate. 3rd place Velcro through the hose and then through the other ring. Hope that makes sense and helps
Just so yall know it will come with some oil in already but its considered "transport" oil (to prevent rust and seizing). Not even half of correct level and of a different viscosity. Good practice to drain 1st, then fill to correct level with sae30 small engine oil
@@eliotlazo541 well first I have to ask you if you have it turned on. If you do, push both of the little fuel throttles wide open away from the motor. Pull it once. It should act like it wants to start. Then push the top throttle all the way towards the motor and pull again. It should start up. If you have a water hose connected to it and the cord is hard to pull. Disconnect the water hose and let the water drain out of the pump. If it doesn’t start up after all of this, I would take it back to Costco.
Though the hose strap seems cheap, I prefer it. I have a Snap-On electric PW that has hose brackets, and after a couple years, the hose started to crack. I probably wrapped it too tightly in restrospect, but having a strap eliminates my tendency to wrap it that way.
This video was perfect. I was able to put it together in no time. I wish it had included instructions for installing wheels and handle bracket. I eventually found a sheet with the wheel instructions and the handle bracket I figured out after there was only one piece left, which I think it was for screwing in the bracket on the handle.
@@JwlsMambo they go to the same place (you can shine a light through to the other side) …..this may be because this motor is used with other products where one side is inaccessible
Thank you for the video I have bought the very same unit. Every is good except the 7 in 1 nozzle. Even though I have followed your instructions but it’s wouldn’t fit tightly into the wand. I even try different universal nozzles that I bought from Lowe’s. Didn’t work No pressure at all. Water keep spraying around the nozzle whenever I try. Any advise would be greatly appreciated
Returned it yesterday. Couldn't get it to start. Fresh gas. Fresh oil. Gas lever on. Choke off. Unit on. Spent two weekends trying to get it started. Bought a electric Ryobi at home depot. My unit was trash.
Just unboxed and setup this same machine but couldn't get it started. I checked the water pump and found that there has no water coming out. I checked the water supply and it was on.....! Do you have a solution for this issue? Thanks
This happened to me as well. Started right up but no out flowing water. Long story short, I hooked it all up and started it. Then I took the heel of my boot and tapped the pump right at the unloader valve -- that spring coil looking thing -- and it started to work. My best guess is that the steel ball at the tip of the unloader valve simply got stuck in a position that was blocking the water and the tapping of the boot on the pump freed it up. My PW is working great now. Hope that helps.
As far as getting the engine to start, I had to swing the choke to the right, do a couple of pulls, then swing it to the left for a couple of pulls and that did it. Of course, the fuel valve was open. Good luck
I really enjoyed ur video I put together my pressure washer yesterday after watching how you did it. I washed my car and my pressure washer would shake and kinda roll down the driveway each time I sprayed. Is that normal? Were my settings wrong? I added the oil. I added fresh gas, the only thing i didnt add was the stabilizer in the gas. What am I doing wrong? Hope you could help me out.
That’s what they do it’s a motor so it shakes the stabilizer is for winter time or if your only gonna use it once a month also if you can get Ethanol free fuel you won’t have to use stabilizer
@@air402 man!! Thank you so much. I thought i had did something wrong. For the stabilizer i went and bought a, stabilizer stick? It says to just replace it every 2 years.
@@916nando I understand so the issue is with ethanol fuel when it sits for about a week or two the water start separating so if you can find ethanol free fuel where you are it can go a last a lot longer all my yard products run ethanol free fuel
I purchased this power washer 2 years ago and from what I understand it has a 3 year warranty, my problem is that the wheels are falling apart, also the pick up nozzle for the soap is not working!

@@PovertyPointCustoms A couple of questions for you. Are surface cleaner attachments compatible with this unit as well and if so does the soap dispenser work along with it? Same question with nozzle attachments

Hello. Thanks for a great video sir. The manual leaves a bit to be desired (dont they all :) , so I was hoping you could help me with a few questions? Even tho mine is the 'same' model (PW3200) as yours (and bought from Costco July 15th 2021), the pump 'body' casting ( 2:02 minutes in) and layout of/and connectors are similar though significantly different in design. There are several screws and 'thingies' (lol ) that protrude off the pump casting that are not mentioned at all in the manual, but clearly are intended for some sort of use and/or adjustment.1. There is one that has a round black plastic cap with some sort of little tubular thing coming off it. The plastic 'cap' spins with a little finger pressure, but does not seem to want to 'come off', and I am not pushing that, not wanting to break anything. Your washer seems to have a similar black plastic 'thingy', albeit in a different location on the pump 'housing'. Any help or guesses? 2. Mine has a 'stand' with a fairly heavy 'coiled spring' with a nut/ small screw ( some sort of adjustment? ) . Yours seems to have a similar 'stand' but without a spring between the pump body and the nut/adjustment screw. Any ideas or guesses as to the usage? 3. Mine has a small brass screw that is tapped for an Allen wrench that is seated in the pump casting? Does yours, and if so, what is IT for ? 4. Your soap tank input hose in the pump body may also have an 'auxiliary' input for a external soap input? Mine does not, unless one of the previously mentioned 'thingies' are intended for that. Though looking at the soap input on mine vs. yours, I dont thin mine does have the capability of an auxiliary larger external soap tank. I wish Husqv would have done a lot better at the manual, sigh. I tried their web site, but they do not bother to include support or documentation for the Costco version of a 3200 psi washer at all. Thanks again for a great video. I see you have several other vid for this same washer, and I imagine those are equally well done. Eric
I would definitely recommend a foam cannon, well worth the money and uses a lot less soap then the onboard soap tank that the pressure washer has. th-cam.com/video/D8-EpcO6yow/w-d-xo.html
When you mentioned the price, I thought, "that seems high compared to what I just paid for one...". Then I listened to you speak some more, and immediately realized you were Canuk. As Bob and Doug would say, "Good day, eh."
I got one at cosco too with the 80$ discount. When I unboxed it, I was dissapointed because there is not paper how to ensamble it, even that is not brainer to put it togheter, there were 2 nuts missing and also doesn't explain nothing about the oil. dip stick shows it has some, but there is nothing explaining like you did. I tried to contact them to make sure but no customer number. They say that they will contact you in 24 to 48 hrs. I also think strap it wont be easy to use it every time. So far, I am not very happy, Price it was ok and 7 yrs warranty. I wish that came a cut off valve for the gas. I wish they put an specific amount of oil , for example 5 oz, at factory and if you know that this machine takes 20 oz, so you know what it will take EXACLY to fillup.
I also got the $80 discount at Costco. I almost bought it last week when we were there when it was $349, but our cart was full, and we hadn't brought the pickup. Got the flyer and saw the discount - good timing on my part :) I also was missing 2 of the nuts, and also no assembly instructions. Rather cheesy I thought, so I got on line and found this video. It was how I thought, but I was wondering about the 2 missing wing nuts.
Bruh Costco be cheating us out on our nuts man! My boss picked this up on the fly when one of our mi-t-m's started having issues and it didn't come with the small bolts for the plate on the handle bar 🤨
No idea why they designed it with 2 fill and dipsticks however they are both for the engine, so you can fill on either side and check the oil height. It actually had me stumped for a second as the manual only shows one fill location but if you take them both out and shine a light in one side you can see the light from the other.
Me again, curious as to if you look at this video still, and try to answer questions? I ask because I will stop expecting one if you do not. Thanks again for a great vid(s).

I have this same water pump configuration. I'm getting no water flow through the spray gun, spray gun hose, or it's outlet(I tried disconnecting one piece at a time to see where the flow stopped). There is good water pressure from the faucet and through the water hose, I don't see anything wrong or clogged in the input screen, but no water is coming out from the water pump. I was wondering if the brass screw tapped for an Allen wrench was did something to open the flow, but I'm unsure. Or any other suggestions to correct no water flow(not low.....none) from the water pump.

Question for you so see how you have gold or brass fittings on your pump the one I bought from Costco does not have the brass colour fittings so I am wondering am I missing something or not ? Because mine is in that silver alluminium colour ? Why is That ??? What could it be what is your word cell number so I can explain this to you in a better way ?
No idea why they designed it with 2 fill and dipsticks however they are both for the engine, so you can fill on either side and check the oil height. It actually had me stumped for a second as the manual only shows one fill location but if you take them both out and shine a light in one side you can see the light from the other. I'd say it was setup like this to make the engine be able to have different attachments where 1 side could be blocked by an attachment so you can add or check oil from the other dipstick.
@@PovertyPointCustoms sounds legit, I'll take your word for it, it messed me up cause one oil was brown the other clear. I thought maybe one was compressor oil and one engine. Crazy
The serial number for the engine is actually a sticker on the side of the gas tank, there is also a sticker on the pump if you have any issues (with the pump)it has the pump information on the sticker also. Hope this helps
Just purchased one from Costco. The spray wand quick connect collar leaks after 7-in-1 nozzle clicks in place. When it connects all the small beads don’t compress on the nozzle. do I find a washer or take it back? How disappointing!!
So the hose is connected and on, pressure washer started ok? And still not water when you squeeze the trigger on the wand? If thats the case there is either an issue with the wand or the pump on the pressure washer I would say, I would probably exchange it for another rather then digging into pump issues unfortunately.
Here's the link to my first start, may help. Make sure to pull the trigger on the wand to relieve some pressure before starting, I've tried to start mine before without and it was a bugger to start. th-cam.com/video/fIbCckUwSnE/w-d-xo.html
Hello PPC, thanks for your video review. I am looking forward to your follow up video because I am actually interested in trying this GPW, but I am hesitant about it. On top of that, I already subscribed to your YT channel.
Thank goodness for this video. I'd heard rumors the item had issues because ppl did not read the full instructions that come with it and often don't get the oil quite right. Well... let me tell you there were no instructions other than to text STARTING to 33988 for a video that would show how t assemble it and start it up. Of course that didn't work. so before packing it up and dragging it back to COSTCO I hit TH-cam and found this video. Thank God. Clean clear instructions. Out to start it up and do my deck, car, stone wall, ... going to go have fun I am, thanks to this video.
Hi Guys, I’m new to this Can I wash my Car with 40 degree nozzle while keeping it little bit away so it doesn’t damage paint? Other thing how much oil it should show on dip stick? Thanks for sharing your video my friend
Got mine at Costco yesterday as well. Have you guys used it yet? One thing I don’t like about it is that the pressure isn’t at a constant. It’ll push great for about 2 seconds and then it’ll stop. Then it’ll build up more pressure and shoot.. then it’ll stop. Am I doing something wrong?
@@johntall124 I haven't used mine yet but the first thing I noticed in the documentation was that it doesn't like ethanol gas above E10. If you put regular E15 or more pump gas in you'll need to add a stabilizer. Also, make sure the oil level is right.
Same here. Just bought the gas and made sure the choke was in the off position while running. It works great when it runs. I wish I knew what the problem was.
Fresh premium gas bought that day. I did a little more research and I wonder if the gas cap isn’t venting properly. It’s been a problem before. Gas flows into the float (carb) and leaves a vacuum in the tank if the cap doesn’t vent properly. I already returned it because I started getting angry after pulling the starter cord so much that I got tired. I might try to rebuy it and figure this out. It really worked well when it was running.
I'm going to use mine again in a couple days. Hopefully no issues. But def try the fuel stabilizer. That's the only thing I've done different than you. Used 87 oct from Mobil. Maybe their ethanol % is lower compared to other stations. Who knows

The plastic 'cap' spins with a little finger pressure, but does not seem to want to 'come off', and I am not pushing that, not wanting to break anything. Your washer seems to have a similar black plastic 'thingy', albeit in a different location on the pump 'housing'. Any help or guesses? 2. Mine has a 'stand' with a fairly heavy 'coiled spring' with a nut/ small screw ( some sort of adjustment? ) . Yours seems to have a similar 'stand' but without a spring between the pump body and the nut/adjustment screw. Any ideas or guesses as to the usage? 3. Mine has a small brass screw that is tapped for an Allen wrench that is seated in the pump casting? Does yours, and if so, what is IT for ? 4. Your soap tank input hose in the pump body may also have an 'auxiliary' input for a external soap input? Mine does not, unless one of the previously mentioned 'thingies' are intended for that. Though looking at the soap input on mine vs. yours, I dont thin mine does have the capability of an auxiliary larger external soap tank. I wish Husqv would have done a lot better at the manual, sigh. I tried their web site, but they do not bother to include support or documentation for the Costco version of a 3200 psi washer at all.
Thanks again for a great video. I see you have several other vid for this same washer, and I imagine those are equally well done.

Why does it appear to have two yellow oil fill spots?
The motor was designed for different applications so they put 2 spots to fill the oil incase 1 is blocked from whatever it is installed in.
@@PovertyPointCustoms Oh interesting. Thx. Nice setup vid.
what is the size of the 7 in 1 nozzle
Do you feel this pressure washer is too high of pressure for car washing? Like possibly damage paint?
Use the 40 degree option on the nozzle tip
What soap due you recommend because I haven’t found a good one to use with it
I would definitely recommend a foam cannon, well worth the money and uses a lot less soap then the onboard soap tank that the pressure washer has. th-cam.com/video/D8-EpcO6yow/w-d-xo.html
And I'm using Chemical guys honey dew soap
Great video appreciate the review saved me a lot time. Purchased at Costco yesterday on sale!!!
Thank you:)
What kind of gasoline did you used?
87 octane (regular) but no more the 10 percent ethanol
What type gas? 85 or 93??
You can run 85, but I always run supreme (ethanol free gas in mine)
Thank you! Love That accent 😍
Thanks
When you mentioned the price, I thought, "that seems high compared to what I just paid for one...". Then I listened to you speak some more, and immediately realized you were Canuk. As Bob and Doug would say, "Good day, eh."

I got one at cosco too with the 80$ discount. When I unboxed it, I was dissapointed because there is not paper how to ensamble it, even that is not brainer to put it togheter, there were 2 nuts missing and also doesn't explain nothing about the oil. dip stick shows it has some, but there is nothing explaining like you did. I tried to contact them to make sure but no customer number. They say that they will contact you in 24 to 48 hrs.
I also think strap it wont be easy to use it every time.
So far, I am not very happy, Price it was ok and 7 yrs warranty. I wish that came a cut off valve for the gas.
I wish they put an specific amount of oil , for example 5 oz, at factory and if you know that this machine takes 20 oz, so you know what it will take EXACLY to fillup.
I was disappointed in the strap also, they certainly cheaped out on that!
I also got the $80 discount at Costco. I almost bought it last week when we were there when it was $349, but our cart was full, and we hadn't brought the pickup. Got the flyer and saw the discount - good timing on my part :)
I also was missing 2 of the nuts, and also no assembly instructions. Rather cheesy I thought, so I got on line and found this video. It was how I thought, but I was wondering about the 2 missing wing nuts.
Bruh Costco be cheating us out on our nuts man! My boss picked this up on the fly when one of our mi-t-m's started having issues and it didn't come with the small bolts for the plate on the handle bar 🤨
Great tip on the lithium grease.
How do you add a disc attachment
I got the same one I noticed it has two dipsticks for oil do I put oil on both of the sides a reply would be greatly appreciated
No idea why they designed it with 2 fill and dipsticks however they are both for the engine, so you can fill on either side and check the oil height. It actually had me stumped for a second as the manual only shows one fill location but if you take them both out and shine a light in one side you can see the light from the other.
Hope this helps, any questions please let me know.
@@PovertyPointCustoms Ok thx for the reply that’s exactly what I did weird design. Thank you for replying. And good luck with this YT channel.
Thank you :)
Me again, curious as to if you look at this video still, and try to answer questions? I ask because I will stop expecting one if you do not. Thanks again for a great vid(s).

@@PovertyPointCustoms Thank you sir. My first post from about 4 days before is below, but I'll paste it again here: Hello. Thanks for a great video sir. The manual leaves a bit to be desired (dont they all :) , so I was hoping you could help me with a few questions?

I have this same water pump configuration. I'm getting no water flow through the spray gun, spray gun hose, or it's outlet(I tried disconnecting one piece at a time to see where the flow stopped). There is good water pressure from the faucet and through the water hose, I don't see anything wrong or clogged in the input screen, but no water is coming out from the water pump. I was wondering if the brass screw tapped for an Allen wrench was did something to open the flow, but I'm unsure. Or any other suggestions to correct no water flow(not low.....none) from the water pump.

@@PovertyPointCustoms been over 2 weeks, guess I'll give up. Thanks anyhow for a great vid.
I got a new one and no pressure while started it .. any one can advise?
Question for you so see how you have gold or brass fittings on your pump the one I bought from Costco does not have the brass colour fittings so I am wondering am I missing something or not ? Because mine is in that silver alluminium colour ? Why is That ??? What could it be what is your word cell number so I can explain this to you in a better way ?
How do you like it so far?
So far it is working great and no issues, knock on wood.
So as a small engine noob, whats the deal with 2 oil spouts?
No idea why they designed it with 2 fill and dipsticks however they are both for the engine, so you can fill on either side and check the oil height. It actually had me stumped for a second as the manual only shows one fill location but if you take them both out and shine a light in one side you can see the light from the other. I'd say it was setup like this to make the engine be able to have different attachments where 1 side could be blocked by an attachment so you can add or check oil from the other dipstick.
@@PovertyPointCustoms sounds legit, I'll take your word for it, it messed me up cause one oil was brown the other clear. I thought maybe one was compressor oil and one engine. Crazy
Hey also new here. So you don’t mix the oil with the gas right? I just have to ask 😑
The pressure washer takes straight gas in the tank, no mixing
what gas did you use?
87 ethanol (Regular, this time but will be switching to supreme gas which is 91 percent ethanol)
@@PovertyPointCustoms thanks . So you recommend using premium , and is there any particular reason other than the methanol content ??
Where is the serial number located for warranty purposes?
The serial number for the engine is actually a sticker on the side of the gas tank, there is also a sticker on the pump if you have any issues (with the pump)it has the pump information on the sticker also. Hope this helps
Can you use bleach on this while washing houses?
I have, mixed with soap, but we have white siding and didn't have any issues, but I would test on a small area first.
Sounds great..you should do a video on that.
No bleach. It will ruin the pump.
Just purchased one from Costco. The spray wand quick connect collar leaks after 7-in-1 nozzle clicks in place. When it connects all the small beads don’t compress on the nozzle. do I find a washer or take it back? How disappointing!!
I would take back or contact company if it's still under warranty, they will probably send you a replacement
Water wont come out of my unit? Everything is plugged in.
So the hose is connected and on, pressure washer started ok? And still not water when you squeeze the trigger on the wand? If thats the case there is either an issue with the wand or the pump on the pressure washer I would say, I would probably exchange it for another rather then digging into pump issues unfortunately.
Unplugged the water plugged back in and it works. I think the pump had air. Thanks for quick response.
th-cam.com/video/2CUacthTMHk/w-d-xo.html it works!!!
Great videos! You mentioned lithium grease? But silicon should do just fine? Could you please share which one did you use?
Either or should be fine, just makes it alot easier to take off in the long run. I learned this the hard way with my old pressure washer
It's going for $269 at our Costco.
100.00 more here in Canada:(
Very useful video! Thank you so much!
Thank you 😊
Bought mine at the last of June 2021. Its a pos. It won't even fire. Try to use it today for the first time.
And wheel also fell off
My engine mount nuts fell off on mine lol
I hear more horror stories about them.then good sadly
Great video thanks for easy walk through
Thanks, I did a few other videos of it on the channel, using it , known issues with them and testing it with a foam cannon
Nice and through. Thanks
Thank you
Thank you helped me
Thanks!
Great explanation!
Thanks!
Just put mine together and it won’t start. I’ve already pulled to much. I’m spent
Here's the link to my first start, may help. Make sure to pull the trigger on the wand to relieve some pressure before starting, I've tried to start mine before without and it was a bugger to start.
th-cam.com/video/fIbCckUwSnE/w-d-xo.html
i bought mine a few days ago, still in the box..... it's raining outside, not in a hurry to assemble it
Mine sat for a few weeks also before I put I together
Does anyone know how many gallons of gas this pressure washer holds? I couldn’t find it in the manual
Apx 1 gallon
I bought one as well yesterday. Anybody else notice the manufacturer date on the engine and PW? Mine is 2010 and 2012 lol.
I'll check mine
I checked mine and it is dated November 2020
It’s says that since it was made in the 12th month of 2020. So it will look like it was made in 2012, but it’s not.
Hello PPC, thanks for your video review. I am looking forward to your follow up video because I am actually interested in trying this GPW, but I am hesitant about it. On top of that, I already subscribed to your YT channel.
Thanks for watching, hopefully in the next day or so I'll get to play with it!
Bought mine yesterday and the spray nozzle has the wrong fitting and won’t snap into the collar.
I wonder if you can just exchange that part rather then having to box it all up and take it back?
I contacted Husk, they are sending me a replacement. In the interim I went to Home Depot and got some cheap ones
I have the same problem!
Do you need ethanol free gas for this unit
Minimum of E87 and no more then 10 percent ethanol gas.
Thank goodness for this video. I'd heard rumors the item had issues because ppl did not read the full instructions that come with it and often don't get the oil quite right. Well... let me tell you there were no instructions other than to text STARTING to 33988 for a video that would show how t assemble it and start it up. Of course that didn't work. so before packing it up and dragging it back to COSTCO I hit TH-cam and found this video. Thank God. Clean clear instructions. Out to start it up and do my deck, car, stone wall, ... going to go have fun I am, thanks to this video.
Your very welcome, I've done a few other videos on this also
Amazing thanks man
Anytime :)
Thank you so much for making this video!! Can you show how to do an oil change on it, please?!?
th-cam.com/video/hw-bjCt5aBc/w-d-xo.html
@@PovertyPointCustoms awesome!! Thank you!
$379? Wow cause right now Costco has it on sale for $269.
Canadian
@@PovertyPointCustoms Is it worth the price? With all the issues you noted: oil leaks, nuts falling out, cheap cord holder.
I actually had to take some out because I missed the part where it had oil in it 😅
Just bought this at Costco for $270!😁
Great deal! My price was Canadian $$
Well done
Thank you
Hi Guys, I’m new to this Can I wash my Car with 40 degree nozzle while keeping it little bit away so it doesn’t damage paint? Other thing how much oil it should show on dip stick? Thanks for sharing your video my friend
The 40 degree will be fine to use, and the oil should be atleast in the middle of the dipstick. :)
Thank you so much, I did watch your other video 👍
I just did anew video using a Foam Snow Cannon, a must have when washing a car, they are amazing!
The owner manual asks to put oil until it overflows.
That's what I usually do in small engines that fill this way
Damn I just bought the same one at my Costco for 269
This is Cdn price
15% tax? You serious about that?
Yes tax in our area is 15 percent! Much higher here then most areas!!
@@PovertyPointCustoms I forgot this is canada where you pay for your "free" health care with sales tax.
I picked one up yesterday for $269 regular $349 at Costco you might have paid to much
Hreat deal! Was that in the US? Bought this one in Canada.
Yup, just got mine in GA for $269 as well 8% tax
Yup got mine for $269 in cali as well
Got mine at Costco yesterday as well. Have you guys used it yet? One thing I don’t like about it is that the pressure isn’t at a constant. It’ll push great for about 2 seconds and then it’ll stop. Then it’ll build up more pressure and shoot.. then it’ll stop. Am I doing something wrong?
@@johntall124 I haven't used mine yet but the first thing I noticed in the documentation was that it doesn't like ethanol gas above E10. If you put regular E15 or more pump gas in you'll need to add a stabilizer. Also, make sure the oil level is right.
Costco has it for 269.99
Mine was in Canadian $$ great deal!
"Assembly" "ok so i put this together" lol what
There's several other video on how to use it and known issues with it that I also did
15% tax, that's insane.
I agree!
I bought for 150 at costco
Great deal!
just got one today at Costco for $279
sorry
Great deal!!
I think it’s better used 89 and higher…
...and I'm complaining about my 8.25% tax
Yah ours is 15%!
31% costco user gives one star. any comment? Husqvarna web has no this model, it seems to be quality down grade product.
I have a Husqvarna snow blower I bought 13 years ago and the quality from that to this is no comparison, definitely built much cheaper.
the soap dispenser sucks... Doesn't work at all
Get a foam cannon worth their weight in gold!here's a link to mine: th-cam.com/video/D8-EpcO6yow/w-d-xo.html
mine ran for 20 seconds and is going back to costco wasted an entire day of work cause of this ...obvious carb problem. DONT BUY
Did you use fresh gas?
Same here. Just bought the gas and made sure the choke was in the off position while running. It works great when it runs. I wish I knew what the problem was.
Just used all weekend. It works great!!! Did you guys use fuel stabilizer? I had gas and choke set all the way to the right for start up.
Fresh premium gas bought that day. I did a little more research and I wonder if the gas cap isn’t venting properly. It’s been a problem before. Gas flows into the float (carb) and leaves a vacuum in the tank if the cap doesn’t vent properly. I already returned it because I started getting angry after pulling the starter cord so much that I got tired. I might try to rebuy it and figure this out. It really worked well when it was running.
I'm going to use mine again in a couple days. Hopefully no issues. But def try the fuel stabilizer. That's the only thing I've done different than you. Used 87 oct from Mobil. Maybe their ethanol % is lower compared to other stations. Who knows
Does the pump come with the proper amount of oil in it???
It came with no oil in it, but does include the oil to add
