I was in the process of cleaning my carb with hopes of getting it started after leaving fuel in the tank for too long. i lost a spring so I got waylayed. I will use your reply on another comment to replace it. mainly, i want to thank you for the best video. i was able to see where the springs and cables go which i could not tell from memory or my own pictures! Most excellent!
Thanks! After wasting a bunch of time cleaning the carb (failure), I watched your well made video and decided to replace the carb for 15 bucks. Started and ran after 1 pull.👍
WELL I ENJOYED THE VIDEO MIS-STEPS AND ALL. I DO THING LIKE YOU DID WITH THE FUEL LINE ALL THE TIME. YOU MADE A QUICK FIX AND WASTED NO TIME GETTING IT DONE. THANK YOU. NOW LETS SEE HOW I DO;))
😂 Thanks for watching and commenting. Sometimes I get ahead of myself😁, but I try to keep things simple and straight forward. Thanks again. I think you’ll probably do fine.
Thank you for the tutorial... I am a paramedic... I can work on broken people... Not so gifted at working on broken machines, however... Ordered the carburetor... Within an hour of its arrival, I had my pressure washer running like a champ... Again, thank you for taking the time to put the video together...
Thank you very much!!! I’m a 50 yr old female and after watching this video I successfully changed the carburetor on the power washer and it started right up! Yay! Thank you!!!!!
I'm receiving a new carburetor in the mail today and was dreading changing it my self. You video makes it look fairly easy. Now I cant wait to get started.
dFreemZ thanks so much. I hope it helped. I thought it was pretty easy. You should be able to knock or out in no time. Good luck! Thanks again for watching.
@@LivingCooper I was able to change the carburetor in under 20 with the help of your video. Unfortunately, I dont think the carburetor was my issue because it still wont start. I even put fresh non-ethanol fuel in it. I'll probably have to take it to an expert now.
I can't thank you enough for this video. I was able to do this right the first time with your help. The torx tip was invaluable. The whole process went smoothly. $13 for a new carburetor makes a whole lot more sense than futzing with a broken-down original. AN ADDITIONAL HINT--the gas caps on these units corrode and clog up. After putting the carburetor on, it would start then quit. I took the top off the gas tank. It gradually started to run a little bit longer with each start. Finally it ran normally. THANK YOU 😊!!!
bigdaddy gator thanks for watching! I’m so glad this helped! It’s always nice to fix things and save a little cash. Great tip on the gas cap, too. I haven’t had that problem, but I could definitely see it happening, with all the moisture. Thanks again.
Thanks ! You made this so easy..15 minute job and it fired right up first pull.. your start to finish video was great! One thing I would like to add is to always use premium gas and some Briggs and Stratton Stabilizer to the gas if not used regularly which will decrease buildup in the Carburetor.
I think I found it. I believe that is the governor spring. If you have a smart phone and take a picture of the QR code on the back of the engine it takes you to the parts manual. In the parts manual look at Pg.14 &15, Ref. no. 209. The Part no. is 793604. Here is my Amazon Affiliate link to that part amzn.to/3osgBft FYI: We may get a small commission from this purchase at no extra charge to you. Thanks again, I hope this helps.
I have that exact same model and the #1 problem with these pressure washers is ALWAYS the carb! I have a 2012 model and have already replaced one carb. This yr (2023) I got it out to pressure wash around my pool and it wouldnt start. I knew it was the carb so instead of replacing it I just cleaned it with carb cleaner and removed the bowl and cleaned the main jet which is the bolt holding the bowl on. Put some fuel cleaner mixed with the gas and it fired right up. Main thing is to drain the gas before storing over the winter!😎
Thanks for watching. I'm sorry you are having this issue. I'm not 100% sure, but it sounds like it might be a problem with the automatic throttle. I'm by no means a pressure washer expert, but I think when you squeeze the trigger the throttle senses the load increase on the engine and it should increase the throttle. Maybe the spring has gotten weak. Hopefully someone else reading these comments has an idea. Thanks again for watching. Sorry, I can't tell you exactly what the problem is.
If all the parts match but the fuel is on the opposite side is that a problem. My fuel inlet is on the opposite of the carb but I could not find one that matched that.
Thanks for watching and asking a great question. It should not matter, you may need to get a longer hose and change up your hose configuration a little bit, but I’m no for sure. I’m not a mechanic but I don’t know why it would make a difference if the specs and bolt patterns are the same.
Thank you I put it in and seems to run ok. I actually had to shorten the hose since it was on the short side. The only thing I had to do was take a small awl and very slightly widen one of the linkage holes on the right side for it to fit. Thanks again for all your help in making this video.
There is not a link for this exact pressure washer. However, the parts are interchangeable with other models, the parts have a link in the description.

Mike M thanks for watching. I’m glad it helped. That’s a great idea with the premium gas and stabilizer. 👍🏻
might be only 28 bucks in the states but up in canada good luck, only way to get it for that price is to buy online at wish.
beingsneaky thanks for checking out my video! Dang, Sorry about that.
@@LivingCooper hmm i looked again and hey they are cheaper now. woo hoo.. lol but i can get it on WISH for 14 bucks but the wait time to get it?? lol
beingsneaky WISH because you wish it would ship faster 😂
@@LivingCooper yes you bet lol.
SMUGGLERS BLUES. ;))
Lost the spring attached to the metal plate at 5:18. How or where can I get a replacement? I have the same pressure washer.
Thanks for watching. Let me dig around the web a little and I will see what I can find.

Thanks for watching and the insight! It’s great to other people’s insights and experiences on how to deal with the different issues. Thanks again.
I replaced mine but it will only run 5-10 minutes before dying. Any ideas on what is going on.
Runs good without the trigger on the gun pressed but after trigger is pressed it will bog down and shut off.

I guess you got this issue worked out, but developed the trigger issue. ugh. hopefully you found, or can find, a fix to the trigger issue.

@@edpippin awesome! Hopefully it’ll keep on working. I sold mine, so I don’t know if it’s still running or not. Thanks again for watching.
where is the washer from?
Lowes.
is there a link for that?
There is not a link for this exact pressure washer. However, the parts are interchangeable with other models, the parts have a link in the description.
:( !
Once it is under 100 actual degrees we will wash the brick off, as you can see in the video it needs some serious cleaning!
