UPDATE:1 year and still cranks within the first 2-3 pulls. Probably will buy another when this one finally does bite the dust ua-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.
I can't thank you enough for this Video. Before watching this Video I didn't know where to start to change the Engine Oil, Air Filter, Pump Non Detergent Oil or to even put in the Pump Saver. I bought a used 3800psi Power Boss Pressure Washer at the Pawn Shop and I followed your instructions. I watched your Video several times, thank you again and God Bless you.
You should have changed the pump oil. Its non-detergent 30W oil. And no you cannot overfill the regular oil in the engine, if its spilling out the top its full, and will continue to spill until its level with the opening. This isnt a lawn mower engine where overfilling will cause it to smoke. Also, use 10w-30 or straight 30 engine oil.
For a revised version of this video in the future, I would suggest showing how to replace the pump inlet filter and also changing the pump oil (15W40 in mine).
Where to start... 1. Change the oil hot, with the pressure washer tilted toward the side of the engine that the plug is being removed from. 2. You can change the plug once the engine has cooled, making sure the gap is exactly what the manufacturer (in this case Honda), specifies. It doesn't hurt to spray a little WD-40 on the threads before installing the plug. 3. When you change the air filter, it makes sense to wipe off the housing base/blowing compressed air (with engine intake covered) to ensure the housing area is perfectly clean. (Homeboy here seems to leave a leaf or a moth sitting on the base, and just puts a new filter right on...) Honda wants you to check the oil level by "not threading" the dipstick plug, but rather-resting it on the top thread...good grief. 4. How about changing the pump oil?
I got a brand new pressure washer..... On the manual its says 600ml but i reach 450 and it spill out? It started first crank but after few hours of using it now it can take like 10 crank before it start......is this cause of the oil? Do i need to put in the 150ml that missing???
@@Tiburnn there may be 200ml still in the system. Next time keep the engine running a while to warm up the oil which will make it more liquid. Then wherever the drain hole is tilt it as much as you can.
Very helpful, thanks. I will check out your other videos since I'm a new owner of a gas pressure washer. I don't even know if the water has to be completely drained each time of use.
I think there was another drain screw on the other side of the pressure washer that had a down hole to catch the oil on the pan. Lol but great job made it look EASY and Messy :) thanks for the overall instructions.
spark plug should have had gap checked prior to installation, old plug should have been looked at for how clean it was burning, pump oil should have been checked at the least or drained and replaced. air filter base should have been cleaned prior to new filter installation. draining engine oil, engine should have been tipped slightly to remove as much old oil and you can. this is was more of a SERVICE than a tune up but it was a sloppy service at that
you can make a funnel like a small shovel out of a flat piece of metal keeping oil away from the wheel and under the motor guiding it down into the pan.
Russo, do you know what the valve gaps are supposed to be on this particular engine? I can’t find it online and no longer have the correct literature to tell me. Thank you in advance.
Can I do the same steps for John Deere ac2700. And I don’t have the manual for you didn’t explain or showed the oil type and where the best place to buy if you can advise me. Thanks great video though
I just tuned up two pressure washers this morning. You never gapped the plug unless you did that off camera. I find that prepped plugs are RARELY gapped correctly so you should have pointed out gapping them or at least checking the gap.
@@BrockLee3 Hey Brock, I'm not very good with math, but that'd be like two fingers per hand, or some combination equaling six wouldn't it. You could have like three fingers on one, two on the other and one on the third, or four fingers on one and one each on the other two; after very little thought, it sounds trustworthy to me. Although it's completely anecdotal my grandfather had three fingers on one hand and he was totally trustworthy. Not only that but he could crush your hand with those three fingers, OK, two fingers and a thumb, but you get the idea, just be careful during handshakes when you see that last combination.
That's a smart idea, I'm going to try it, though with the exception that in my brand's manual, it says not to pull cord when the spark plug is removed. So I'll try it with it still in.
I really enjoyed your video, I saw someone once say that when storing it for the winter that you should put a little oil in the hole where the spark plug does. How do you feel about that
You never changed the oil on the water pressure motor, or take out the spring and you also didn't clean out the screen on the water inlet where the hose hooks up. Thank you for the tune up info on the Honda motor though
I didn't know you had to thread the dip stick all the way in to check the oil level. I thought it was intended to be taken out, wiped then just put in without threading and then checked.
Is the pump saver can only used for "winterizing", i.e. storing it in cold temperatures or does it HAVE to be used when storing it for any extended period of time, even if inside?
It was a decent video, give it a rest people, it educated me. I have almost the same washer and it froze out, now i know to use the pump saver for the winter storage
you keep taking out the oil plug because you know you overfilled it, you're trying to get a little bit out more each time. tilt, your cart slightly more so that oil doesn't get under your engine.
Hello ! I wanted to ask something, I just bought a 3200 psi power wash, how often should I change the oil and get a tune up? And is there anything else I should be doing to maintain it? Thanks a lot
I believe is every 200 500 hours of use. Also you need to change the pump oil and its a different oil and you can find it at home depot on pressure washer machines section.
So I learned how to spin a wing nut. Spark plug boot. Loosen oil plug. Get aggressive with a plug. Finger tight/cross threading. Remove fill cap. Don't start without oil. Thank you but ✂ it out.
baddmaxx25 ......you can use SAE 30 all summer,and they will use less oil. When it gets cold .....switch to 10w30. We run 550 hrs. plus on gx390 and gx610. great engines.
10W30 just meant it changes weight in the winter. if the last number matches the number for the SAE then your good. plus you ain't using the pressure washer below freezing temps anyways
You perform the job well, but you need too clean the filter housing before put a new filter on and be a little more cleaner so video look better thanks 👍

Great video with excellent detail! Would have liked to see changing the pump oil included as it’s a step a lot of people neglect doing.
Thanks for the info. I own a small business and do not need a big bill for fixing a pressure washer because I was too lazy to tune it up!
a trick : you can watch series on kaldroStream. I've been using it for watching all kinds of movies these days.
@Elon Patrick yup, I've been watching on kaldrostream for months myself =)
always great to leave debris and garbage that falls off the OLD air filter and just plunk the new one on top of the garbage. niiiiiice
yes, what a clown, gonna check another video then thx

I'm here for the pump oil part and ge didn't mention it.
Thanks a lot for taking your time and making a great video.
You just put the new air filter down on top of dirt
driveheronman That big chunk of dirt probably ended up in the engine. Also, isn't changing the pump oil an important maintenance step???
Haha saw the same thing. Actually stopped the video to comment. What a hack amateur.
haha yeah i was like wtf big chunks of leaves and dirt
Very poor workmanship. As said above "Love this new generation. No pride in their work." and rush, rush, rush and fuck the engine!!
Bob Smith At least he’s wearing his safety gear hahaha
Woah your the man!!! Thank you for this my pressure washer is shutting down on me and I don’t know why
Very helpful, thanks. I will check out your other videos since I'm a new owner of a gas pressure washer. I don't even know if the water has to be completely drained each time of use.
I think there was another drain screw on the other side of the pressure washer that had a down hole to catch the oil on the pan. Lol but great job made it look EASY and Messy :) thanks for the overall instructions.
was the gap checked before threading the new spark plug? Out of the box, I've had spark plug gaps be way off.
Nice overview. Thanks for making!
Dang... u need to pressure wash the pressure washer after spilling all that excess oil.........
trust me dont pressure wash your pressure washer otherwise you'll find yourself here looking at how to fix it like im doing lol
You can do that only when is on
LMAO
@@JG-tk7ov lmfao
Is there a tool to extend the drain plug so as to drain the oil in the oil pan only?
spark plug should have had gap checked prior to installation, old plug should have been looked at for how clean it was burning, pump oil should have been checked at the least or drained and replaced. air filter base should have been cleaned prior to new filter installation. draining engine oil, engine should have been tipped slightly to remove as much old oil and you can. this is was more of a SERVICE than a tune up but it was a sloppy service at that
Can you show us how to change the pump oil. Thanks. Great informational advice
you should always tilt it over while draining the oil....
Will the engine still stuff be okay?
What about the oil in the pump housing?
I see you changed the engine oil. What about the pump oil? Should that be changed or checked regularly? I have the 3300psi Simpson
Get an oil drain tube attachment. You'll thank yourself every time you change the oil. Completely mess free.
you can make a funnel like a small shovel out of a flat piece of metal keeping oil away from the wheel and under the motor guiding it down into the pan.
you need to open the oil fill cap when you drain the oil from the bottom, otherwise the oil will not drain completely
great point.
Amen!
Russo, do you know what the valve gaps are supposed to be on this particular engine? I can’t find it online and no longer have the correct literature to tell me. Thank you in advance.
Hi Caleb, Valve clearance is .004-.006 on the Honda GX engines
or 0.015 to .020mm
How often do we have to change the spark plug?
Thanks for the info and tips im smashing my like botton kaboooooooooooooom
I have to use one just like this but you left out service of the pump. What kind of oil does it use and how to change it
Ronald Thomas sea 30.....No detergent.
How often do you do an oil change and spark plug filter
Can I do the same steps for John Deere ac2700. And I don’t have the manual for you didn’t explain or showed the oil type and where the best place to buy if you can advise me. Thanks great video though
please check the fresh oil again and again and again and again and again
Love this new generation. No pride in their work.
Hate this old generation. Full of haters
I agree, seemed like he was rushing through it, thats how mistakes( I saw a lot) are made.
All the mechanic's are criticizing, but here watching to see how to do the work.

Lunker012 If it cranks and runs ok, I guess it’s all ok?
"Finger-tight." [Uses ratchet and socket]
"Finger-tight." [Uses wrench]
You keep using that phrase...I do not think it means what you think it means.
"start with your fingers"...
Inconceivable!
Always be suspicious of anyone that gives you advice that has six fingers on one hand, trust me on this one. Have fun storming the castle.
@@robertkees6048 What about people whomst have six fingers on all three of their hands?
@@BrockLee3 Hey Brock, I'm not very good with math, but that'd be like two fingers per hand, or some combination equaling six wouldn't it.

I have seen enough after the first Minute.
Lol. As soon as he started talking about PPE I was out.
Did you just do a tune up, or did you winterize the pressure washer,?
Hello sir i have the same machine. Do you know where i can order the oil sensor?
Drain oil on my equipment like that...Fired!
I think you should pull the engine cord while adding the pump saver to make sure each valve assemble gets some.
That's a smart idea, I'm going to try it, though with the exception that in my brand's manual, it says not to pull cord when the spark plug is removed. So I'll try it with it still in.
So he is changing the air filter without clearing/cleaning the dirt on the bottom? Is this clean up or tune up? Tuning is different I thought.
I really enjoyed your video, I saw someone once say that when storing it for the winter that you should put a little oil in the hole where the spark plug does. How do you feel about that
I always a cap full of oil every season before storage ...works every time.
great video. what's a pump saver?
If I'm not mistaken it protects the pump from freezing while stored, if maybe it's stored in an unheated garage, and lubricates the pump.
How often should one do this maintenance
You never changed the oil on the water pressure motor, or take out the spring and you also didn't clean out the screen on the water inlet where the hose hooks up. Thank you for the tune up info on the Honda motor though
What type of oil should i put in a 2gpi machine gas powered
Wow thank you. Very helpful
I didn't know you had to thread the dip stick all the way in to check the oil level. I thought it was intended to be taken out, wiped then just put in without threading and then checked.
Alexis Moreau just fill it to the top.......it's all good.
You are not supposed to screw the dipstick in to check the level. This guy knows just enough to get him into trouble.
When should you change the oil?
What about the top side back knob that says Oil close to the water inlet side? Does oil goes in there too and what kind?
What about actual pump maintenance. Not just the motor. For example, troubleshooting or add/changing the oil.
Check the oil level as it’s overflowing hahahahahaahha
😂😂😂
That's Billy Bob level service for ya...always check the dipstick even if oil is bursting through the seams
Nice video👏👏👏👏
Is the pump saver good in freezing temperatures?
I don’t want you even get close to my stuff, after I did see how you doing maintenance....
That leaf’s gunna get sucked in first start
Is the pump saver can only used for "winterizing", i.e. storing it in cold temperatures or does it HAVE to be used when storing it for any extended period of time, even if inside?
Marcoosianism ...that’s why he uses them gloves!
Why is water coming out of my pressure hose with nothing attached? No wand, no ball valve???
It worked fine yesterday.
What do you guys use for your O-ring lubricant??
You never change the pump oil, that’s what I wanted to see.
Billy wants to see how you flush out the oil tank lol
Why are there 2 oil fill ports? One has black cap other has ivory cap which one is the oil fill?
Very helpful guide, thank you very much. You are AWESOME !!!
What oil do you use for winter use?
W in oil stands for winter, not weight.
What is the gap on that spark plug boss?
You said nothing about changing the pump oil ??
hey I subscribe! do you have a video on how to change the carburetor? if you do can you send link please. thanks
Don’t you check the gap on a new plug?
John Race I guess if it starts and runs, then it’s all ok!
What about being all the debris out that was underneath the air filter!
It was a decent video, give it a rest people, it educated me. I have almost the same washer and it froze out, now i know to use the pump saver for the winter storage
I know all this but do you know how to fix a pressure washer that's not blowing out pressured water
That's most likely a bad pump. You should look at replacing the pump
change the pressure regulator on the bottom of the pump, should have a rubber cover over it
you keep taking out the oil plug because you know you overfilled it, you're trying to get a little bit out more each time. tilt, your cart slightly more so that oil doesn't get under your engine.
🤣🤣
When i opened the oil, it was full of gas. I left the gas overwinter. What should i do now?
Hello ! I wanted to ask something, I just bought a 3200 psi power wash, how often should I change the oil and get a tune up? And is there anything else I should be doing to maintain it?

Are you supposed to replace the crush washer or can you re use it?
I love the facts you didn't clean the dust out of the airfilter compartment then install the new filter.🤦♂️
Great video.
Thanks for sharing.
New subscriber here
How do you clean the carburetor?
That is far too much oil, unnecessary cost and can make your engine hard to start
you're supposed to go only up to the maximum mark on the dipstick
severussnape222 .....look at the Honda manual. fill it till it flows out and your good. Honda engineers did this for ease of maintaining.
You should never overfill as he did. The oil level should be on the top of the hatch on the dipstick. Overfilling can cause premature seal wear.
it's almost impossible to overfill. Any excess flows out before the drain plug is fitted.
Yes just leave it full of water during winter and for good measure drain the oil before use
Great video
Is the air filter and the carburater filter the same?
there's a fuel filter and an air filter. those are 2 different things
Every how many hours of use will an oil change be required on pressure washers ???...
You didn't check the oil in the water pump
How do you get the tires off
What if my fuel is going into my oil in the crankcase?
Merci Canada
Ne problem pas!
Great job
last i checked honda used 10w30 not strait 30

What oil in the engine? Sae 10w-30 ?
What brand of motor oil did you use
Excellent! Thanks!
Where can I get a new air filter?
no compressor oil change?
why unplug the sparkplug? my engine take like 6 pulls or more to get started there is no risk of it accidentally starting when doing a oil change.
Make your own video haters. at least he is trying to explain.
He still sucks. You think it’s good to leave a leaf in the bottom of the air intake lmao….he shouldn’t be touching shit
How can that engine start without pulling?
Before I put in a new or replace a used spark plug. I check the gap. You should too
Thank very much 👍
THANK YOU,VERY INFORMATIVE!
You perform the job well, but you need too clean the filter housing before put a new filter on and be a little more cleaner so video look better thanks 👍
