Got a brand new one from a neighbor that tried to use it and he couldn't figure it out. Unfortunately it sat for a few years in his shed and the cheap metal used to make the pump corroded completely shut, I'm guessing from our low ph water. After replacing the pump, hose and wand I had about $180 dollars into it and a very good pressure washer.
Exactly , I don’t do those . My personal pressure washer is electric. I do have a gas one I picked up for free. Got it going it works but I rarely use it
I know I'm not telling the content creator anything he does not know so for others never run a pressure washer without the hose connected and turned on. You will prematurely burn out your pump.
@eostrike I appreciate the comment. You can only run them for 15 or 20 seconds without water, and they shouldn't run more than a minute without opening the handle and allowing water to flow. It's the coolant for the pump. 👍
@GuysPlayingWithTools I agree with this statement because in that short amount of time the pump should not overheat. For me personally when working on these and or my own I always have my hose connected and turned on. This is just a habit because I burned one up many years ago running dry when I was self teaching small engine repair. It is content creaters like you that gave me the the tools to gain experience for the past 10 plus years fixing these as a hobby. Thanks for putting these videos out for everyone.
@eostrike I like it when I get comments like these that say "don't forget about...". It reminds me to mention something in the next one and it's a good "heads up" for everyone else. It's not easy to remember every detail(and sometimes what I already said) while working on a motor and moving tripods and lights around. 🙂

Nice. The pumps don't like to sit around. If you put pump saver in before storing them they tend to do ok
Exactly , I don’t do those .

@dfields9511 I have a big one, but I put pump saver in it and run out empty if it's going to sit a while.
@@GuysPlayingWithTools yep that’s what I did with my gas one. And it’s stored in basement . Where it doesn’t get as cold
@dfields9511 Cold isn't a problem in Texas, but equipment left outside all summer takes a beating
Nice job 😎
@@Ry-fearless96 Thanks. 🙂
@@GuysPlayingWithTools Happy 4th brother
@Ry-fearless96 You too. This is one of my favorite holidays(we go to the beach for fireworks)
@GuysPlayingWithTools That's awesome! Got this landscape job to finish up before 12 hopefully 🙏
@@Ry-fearless96 You are racing the heat, I hope you win!
Needle and float left on bench?
Probably, I had 3 projects going but only did video on this one.

They don’t get a lot of use, I run my one out of fuel after every use. Could be more than six months between uses
@almclean4835 Mine gets used about twice a month, so I shut off the fuel and clean until it stalls.
It ran, until it didn’t 😂
@@haneyoakie14 The motor is ready to go. The rest... not so much.
@@GuysPlayingWithTools I see that. Up here the pumps die because people leave them in the garage all winter. Ice ice baby.
@haneyoakie14 dum dum dum da da da dum 🤣
Those vertical pressure washer's are all ways failing quicker than the horizontal type of pressure washer's
They fail from sitting. You can rebuild the pump but it's a bit of work getting it off on this one
@@GuysPlayingWithTools that is the truth about that matter to work on the pump Bill 💸💵
I’ve got one here that has been run without water, pump is ruined and a new one isn’t cheap. It’s not getting replaced, engine is good though
This one ended up going back as a good motor too.
@@GuysPlayingWithTools that sounds great because of the price of a new one is expensive 😞
