F! FFFFF!!!
As Harry Homeowner I've had to learn to fix a lot of stuff out of necessity. I wanted to pressure wash my deck today, but I gave it about a 25% chance of coming to be, because I know from experience that my pressure washer will refuse to start and run after sitting during the winter. I ran all the fuel out of it before storage, cut the fuel line off. Kept it indoors in a heated garage so the pump wouldn't freeze. Hooked it up today, It would try to kick then die. Tried Sea Foam, fresh 91 octane gas, same thing over and over. OK...gas flow problem. Probably the carb. Took it out, took it apart, gumout and WD40 on everything. Put back together, now it won't even kick. At all. F. FFFFFF!!!! So, off to Amazon to buy a new carb kit. I'll just pull the old one off, put the new one on with new gaskets, and if it won't start then I'll find a cliff to push it off. Man, I just hate crap like small engine repair. I truly despise it. I fixed my lawn mower two years in a row, so I can do it with help of You Tube videos, but pressure washers are notorious for not wanting to run after sitting during the winter. This is the third time I've had this happen. Ryobi with a Honda Engine, 3100 PSI. Sucks. OK, I'm coming down of the ledge now...

I'm surprised you are having trouble with a Honda small engine, they have always been rock solid for me and I won't buy anything else. I have a 15 yr old Porter Cable pressure washer and the Honda engine on it has outlasted 2 pumps and always fires right up.



With that said, don't ever run ethanol through any small engine, that shit will **** up your carb over time.

I am sure you prolly already thought of this but pull the spark plug and wire brush it a bit. It may just be a little carbon buildup on the electrode.

Had a coworker walk out during a conversation in which I stated I just use regular unleaded in my zero turn mower. Weed eaters, chainsaws and other tools like those size I use zero ethanol fuel to mix. Haven't had any issues with the mower- probably 10 years old now and used heavily/abused.

I hear you loud and clear. I have a little cultivator with a stihl engine and I tried to start it yesterday and finally got it to start and idle but every time I tried to give it gas it would die. ****ed with it for about 30 minutes until I was worn out from pulling on the rip cord and tossed it across the yard . My neighbors think I'm dangerous for sure!

Yeah I use all 91 Premium Octane no Ethanol. So it's not ethanol that's the issue. Man, a totally new carb kit on Amazon is $18. It pisses me off that an $18 part can screw up my whole weekend, but so be it. I'm going to just start swapping out a totally new carb every season like putting on a new lawn mower blade. Not worth the hassle trying to take the old one apart. Maybe I'll put this gas powered pressure washer up for sale and buy an electric one. I'm really getting to where I don't want to screw with gas powered small engines any longer, period.

I did finally give up on gas powered blowers and string trimmers a couple years ago. Yes, dealing with the cords can be a hassle but at least I know my shit will work when I need it to.



Not sure I'd go with an electric power washer though...

I went lawn-free many years ago and don't regret it a bit. We have a xeriscaped yard. It looks nice and it's low maintenance. We've got finished patios and decks if we want to sit outside, so losing the lawn didn't hurt us in any way.

I have gone to electric (battery) as much as possible. Trimmers, chain saws etc. A corded washer might be the cure.

What advantages does a gas washer provide vs corded? Power? Portability?

Our power washer is hit or miss each year. I bought a cheap one years ago and still runs, but with fingers crossed.

I am surprised as well that the Honda motor doesn't fire.

Just bought one of the these. Titan PGD2875 Homeowner, Light Duty, 4 Stroke Gas-Powered Post Driver



https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I don't think they make a battery pounder. If so, horribly priced.

Gas powered post pounder. I need to put in ~100 T-post for the hot wire around our pastures.

I sure as heck not going to pound them in with the manual sleeve pounders.

I went electric with all my small lawn type devices and that includes an electric power washer. For my use they just work. I can imagine if I had to use them on a more regular basis on larger areas gas would be more efficient but for my needs I tired of mixing fuel and then the damn things were a PIA to get running. Especially after winter.

When you say electric, is that corded or battery.
