Bought this thing a year ago… can’t believe I’m already dealing with this!! Of course the engine is bulletproof but wish they didn’t attach a POS pump.
Only thing I would really recommend is trashing the POS (gold colored) thermal relief valve, and buying a proper one. This gold colored one is made of some tinny type of aluminum or something like that, and can blow apart. Mine blew apart second time I used the pressure washer (the head got clean blown off). Get a CAT thermal relief, or any number of other proper brass units on the market. Just make sure the temp rating is similar at 140-145 F.
This was super helpful. Thank you very much! I took mine apart like you said and the Pistons move fine. I sprayed it with WD-40 bolted everything back on started it up but no water pressure. I had already ordered the replacement part then after an hour, I decided to try it one last time, and it started right up and with normal pressure.
I have a 530010 AAA pump that is shooting water out between the brass head and block plus water in the oil. I shut it off as soon as I discovered it. It was still making good pressure. Just seals or something more serious? I bought a new pump for $368 but am interested in repairing the leaking one as a spare if it's cost effective. Advice?
Thank you all for the channel support 🙏 stay tuned for more helpful videos don't forget to subscribe 👍
Technician do repair; mechanic do replacement. If one seal bad, just change the seal, why change the complete manifold? Money wasted.

Everywhere I look you have to buy the whole pump. Looking for just the manifold for a 7112736. 3.5 GPM at 3600 psi.
Manifold $219. Whole pump with manifold $249.
Wow, that’s a $200 kit. Were the seals the problem on this machine or was the manifold damaged?

I have the exact same unit and it makes a burst of pressure and then no pressure at all. Any way to fix without buying a new head?
Blessed from the bust
Does anyone know where you can find the boost valve that's on the bottom valve on the end of the new manifold?
As a landscaper I felt called out by that intro. I love it 😂
Thank you for this video, This video was a great help.

Great video, I have a 4gpm simpson 4000psi with the triple A pump. It stop making pressure and I will give this repair a try

Could I upgrade my 2.5gpm pump on the Honda 3700psi and if so what would be a good upgrade?
How about a video on adjusting the pump pressure and unloaded, on mine I can adjust the pressure by turning the black knob but how about the unloaded?
Hey man I want to replace just the seals and I'm having a difficult time finding them can you connect me with the link for just those seals
Great info thank you
@Winder Outdoor Power Where do I buy a seal kit???
