Hi Hayden, I have been trying everything and watched your video. Perfect. Someone had let the nozzle drop to the ground and it pushed the head back to the LOW pressure position. What confused me was the operating manual had the LOW and HIGH pressure backwards. You are a gem mate. Thanks .
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.
Yep - this did the trick - after I'd spent hours looking for receipt to take it back to Bunnings, given up, taken it apart - removed the unloader valve, filter etc - without success. Thank you.
Haha, I feel like an idiot. After spending two hours disassembling and reassembling my pump numerous times, this was the issue. THANK YOU! Now I gotta go kick ass and salvage what is left of my day.
Thank you for this video. I replaced my pressure washer wand last year and didn't even know that was a feature. Thanks again for posting this video its saved me alot of time
Thanks someone gave me a broken unit because they know I fix stuff . the unit ran a couple seconds then. No water came out also the hose had high pressure that would not release. I forcefully pulled on the nozzle into high and that fixed everything, I changed the head and hose because they were bad and made the adjustment you described. Now all is good thanks again.
Also, I ran into this problem, I had only low pressure coming out of the nozzle of the wand/gun. I already know that to adjust between high and low pressure you just need to pull the tip of the nozzle in or out accordingly (it's printed or embossed on the nozzle's plastic housing tip). I knew the pump and engine were ok and operating correctly, I maintenance both regularly. So I suspected the nozzle only since the handle/trigger was replaced last year. SO I took apart the tip, which was pretty easy. It just required the removal of that plastic sleeve that you pull in and out for pressure adjustments. There were only two snap tabs that needed to be bent out while pulling on that sleeve. I discovered that there is an intentional tiny hole at the very tip of the exposed brass where the high pressure water stream eminates from when in the high pressure setting. This hole was blocked completely by something very hard (possibly a small sand pebble). It was jammed in that tiny hole. I reamed/drilled it out and that solved the problem completely. Didn't cost a thing. Hope this info helps others. Good luck.
Hi there.... love your videos! Hey, I have a Campbell Hausfeld electric pressure washer, 1800 psi. Just recently.... this problem happened: After I release the trigger button, the water of course stops flowing, and the motor stops, but.... now what happens is: after I release the trigger button... the motor shuts down, but it then starts and stops intermittently about every 5 seconds. The only way to stop it, is to turn the power knob off each time. Do you have any idea what could possibly be causing this problem?
I have a craftsman 2150 psi when I squeeze the trigger it comes out sorta strong but then the pressure reduces. It has like a semi strong stream but I don’t know what it is
Man do I feel dumb. Thank you for saving me a trip & cost of repair shop. I though nozzle only twisted for fan spray, and didn’t see the forward/back adjustment for hi & low! Yes it was totally stuck. Thanks!!!
I had really low pressure. Then I noticed I'd forgotten to attach the nozzle. Check the simple things first, or you'll feel like a real dummy. Trust me on this.
Lol I get confused when the people who "created" the language don't pronounce R's. Pressah, cleanah... it's CleanER, pressuRE. There's no argument, R = are = rrrrr. You can say Rover pronouncing the R yet ending it in ah, rovah.... Doesn't make sense to me.
U seem very easily confused. I wonder what happens to yr simple mind when u hear ppl speaking patois? Cant compute? Besides anyhow i thought F-50 aka Ferrari ruined yr career. How was fire Island roo?

Solved a problem i had for 1 year in 1 minute. Thank you my friend !
Great to hear!

👍 You have saved people hundreds of dollars.

Thank goodness yours was the first video to pop up. Only using the pressure once every couple years & you forget the little things. Thanks!
Glad it helped

Thanks mate, your vid saved me hours and $$$$
Fixed mine thank you!
Glad I could help!
I think this video has saved me twice now 🤣 thanks. I'm an idiot.

If it only runs for a moment and then shuts off, you probably need to clean your carburetor. You may have left some old gas in it.
Thanks mate, helped heaps
Glad it helped!
I have the same pressure washer. Solved my problem immediately thanks!
Glad it helped!
I installed a new nozzle yesterday, and ran into this very problem. Thanks for posting!
Glad it helped 👍

Did u figure it out? Mine is doin that
Good info.

thank. you.
so much...
Good info. Thanks!
Thanks 🙂
Nice video but what if mine doesn’t have that accessory?
Check water pump, check for blockages in the wand, if the motor surges, clean tank, pipes and change carby as needed. Hope it helps :)
someone didn't read the Instruction manual 😂😂😂 we all do it.
Mine lost pressure and it's brand new. Used only 6 times mildly
I had really low pressure. Then I noticed I'd forgotten to attach the nozzle. Check the simple things first, or you'll feel like a real dummy. Trust me on this.
how old is this machine????????????????????????????????
Have another drink
I'd say that's a pretty terrible design...
My water wont even reach the sprayer

They're called accents bud. Alot of people speak differently and thats ok.
Resorting to personal attacks. Really! NO CLASS.
