I watched a kid spray his leg while working in North Dakota on the rigs. He was trying to wash his boots off and went a little too high and injected himself with 3800psi of a water/diesel mixture. Was in the ER for a few weeks, and lost his job. I gained a new found respect for pressure washers that day.
That makes me cringe man. I shot a hole in my foot also but didn’t have all the sand. Thanks for the comment and warning
great vid, like your presentation style, glad to be a new subscriber. I was pressure washing in flip flops but after your story wont anymore
Never pressure wash in flip flops! If you learn anything from this channel that is the most important lesson.
The old powerhorse still has some kick left in it. Great detail on the fix and cool fun for us to have a good laugh.
She is on her last leg, that pressure washer is a POS lol. Hope all is good
@@MowerMike we are great MM, thanks for asking. You use it till its last leg is gone to 🤣
Worked with small engine tools all my life landscaping. Wouldn't try working on carburetor after bad experience 25 years ago. My pressure washer quit today. Trying to get into repair shop and hearing how much would probably be, I watched half of this video, decided I'd try and fixed easy doing your step taking bowl off and jet out cleaning. Runs like new! I'd hug your neck if I could see you!
Haha glad it helped Mark. How about just a virtual high five!
I was out today wearing crocs using my pressure washer. Thank you for the valuable tip!
Sure thing, hope you learn from my dumb mistakes
Yep, did the trick. Mine was stuck so I just sprayed some carb cleaner through it. Thanks! 👍
Nice easy fix!
Yo yo Mike your a mad man .. great fix and love the post chat lol
Thanks Mick! Yep I have a bad history with pressure washers. Hope all is going good for you and the family across the pond.
Thanks! I followed the steps and got my Powerhorse pressure washer working again. Symptom: Started up fine but would stall within a couple of minutes. Pressure washer had been sitting for about a year. Cleared the petcock and drained all the old fuel. Opened the bell and cleared the carburetor. Reassembled then filled with new fuel. Spent the rest of the weekend washing everything!
Well done!
Thank you so much for the pointers!
Glad to help
Worked great thanks

Glad I could help!
Thanks for a good helpful video
You got it!
Thank you so much for this video
Hey glad it helped.
Thanks this was helpful!
Glad you got her going
Great video! Solved my problem. Thank you, sir!! Not sure if it'll help, but I installed a small Briggs & Stratton 75 micron inline fuel filter. Couldn't hurt I suppose.
A little fuel filter is always a good idea also if you can use ethonal free fuel, will solve most of your issues. Now time to get to work!
Thanks for the video. Do you know the diameter of the tube that you connected to the petcock for draining fuel? I'll bet a 10mm nut driver would save some aggravation. How about just running some sea foam through it?
1/4 in tube is a good bet. Sure try seafoam is good stuff. Or mechanic in a bottle, I have a video on it
Can you give video on how to replace the two small metal pieces inside the pull string holder.
No sorry, I don’t deal with communist
This was 2 years ago and you mention that this Pressure Washer was a POS and on its last leg. now, i am looking to buy one and wonder if you recommend Powerhorse or stay away?
That thing sucks, I suggest a Generac. I have the perfect video for ya. Check it out at this link.

Can you adjust the carburetor? My powerhorse washer idles really rough. Not a smooth idle.
I don’t think so. If you clean it good it should work again
Nah best way is always compressed air and there is more passages then just the main jet that need cleaning to run well. The main jet controls the fuel mixture for high end or full throttle. For most people it will help it run pipe cleaners work good too. Dont run a pressure washer period with no water ever especially on a triple piston pump.
Nah
Hey do you guys know what causes the pressure washer to shut off when I release the spray trigger?
No idear
What the box like thing under the carburetor with 2 houses connected to it called I been looking for a name and can’t figure it out.
I assume you are talking about the airbox
3:48 you see a box like piece that’s on the bottom of the motor that’s what I’m referring to. I looked up air box and the filter house just pops up. So I’m not sure what it’s called lol
@@josevilla4543 Man I have no idea. I had never even seen that box till I looked at it on my clip. Is some sort of breather box probably for emissions.
@@MowerMike yeah I’ve been stuck on trying to find a name for it but appreciate your time
Use a guitar string to clean that carb jet out 🙃
What that is a great idear thanks
simple explanations, full of knoledge. thanks...it works now.,.!!
Excellent my man, glad it helped.
