These are problems as they distract from the quality of the machine. Poorly written manual ...( I can live with this ) safety nazi agenda in the manual rather than good info.. (Thankfully I have lived mostly in a better time) Air filter ? The original has been mutilated, the cover over the carb intake was out of position due to poor running ??? Running ? Time to pull the carburetor ??? weak spray ? |

Yesterdays reply never "took".. GardenWeb was effective, this forum needs more active members... Yesterday , I may have found a replacement air filter at Home Depot, and on sale !! But it was old stock, the numbers did not match, but it still looked to be correct... |

The problem is a delivery of about 0.8 to 0.9 gpm of water to the pressure washer which needs at least 2.7 gpm.. Is it any wonder.....? |
