Hello, great video! Got the same pressure washer and man those valves are hard to get out!! Gonna try your #4 easy out trick, seems to work quite well! One thing i noticed is that when you put your high pressure seals back in the opening/grove in the seal is supposed to go face down. That way when the machine is pumping water at high pressure it pushes out on each side of the seal in that groove. Im sure it will work the other way but I thought i should mention it to you as it might start to leak. You can check the exploded parts diagram and see for yourself. I pressure wash log homes and own a variety of commercial washers, this small one is just for around the house and washing cars.

I work on GX 390 engines all the time because of equipment customer owned 40 of them Love the engine 😊😊

Great video, as usual. You’re not afraid to jump into anything.

Ive been watching a lot of pump repair videos. Ive only seen 2 using an ez-out for valve removal, you and one other!

Very smart mechanic on just about everything you do Thank You for the information and videos 😊😊😊

Great video, same issue

Those keihin carburetors are actually the oem Honda carburetor. They are on all their engines from the GC/GX (horizontal shaft) and GCV/GXV (vertical shaft mower engines).

Yep, learned something new while making this video. I don't get to work on the small GX series very often.

Great informative video..

If you get no pressure and it sprays a stream of water without the pump engaging, check the filter first. It is located on the water intake. Mine was 1/2 inch deep plugged with calcium.

I am not a huge fan of those filters. General Pump makes a much higher quality and capacity filter that is less prone to the problem you describe.

Jamin joes garage. It was a 54 with a smashed up door and a cheesy little amp lol Frank Zappa. Thanks for the video. I plan on buying one in a couple weeks and possibly putting a cat pump on

I actually ended up swapping this AAA pump out for the CAT 3DX shown in this video. Will be uploading the rebuild of pump shortly.

You can use needle nose pliers to pull the old check valves out and to put them back in also.

Sometimes they work, sometimes not. Mine were really stuck in there.

Great video. What brand and model is your ultrasonic cleaner ?

It was a cheapo $100 unit that I ordered on Amazon years ago. The heating element burned out pretty quickly, and the rocker switch on the back broke a few months ago, but with some re-wiring, it still works just fine.

Does parts work for DXPW61299. Thanks ahead

All my check valves are good and still no pressure what’s the next step thanks for your video !!!!!

There could be a problem in the unloader but check the check valves very carefully.

Can you tell me what brand ultrasonic parts cleaner you use. Thanks!

I think carb is oem because it has a filter which aftermarket doesn’t

Yeah, that's a really good point. A lot of the aftermarket/clone carbs don't have the sediment bowl.

Where are you ordering your parts?

It depends. I order a lot of my commodity parts from Stens, but odd-ball stuff, I order from retailers the same as everyone else.

tape is not a sealant. its is really a lube to help it get tight. look it up

Sorry, not sure what you're referring to. I used a thread sealant (Oatey Great White), no tape here.

@@JoesGarageProductionsLLC pipe tape. some people think the name means it makes a seal, but it really classifies as a thread lube not a sealer.

I was wondering the same thing... Probably not a terribly good idea as it may cause cavitation in joints and thus joint damage.

Fixed for how much not $17 bucks pump how much 😂😂😂😂
