Your video was right on the money! I was cursing Craftsman and Briggs and after following your instructions the culprit was actually crappy gas that provided the buildup in the jets. Makes me wonder about all the negative comments on starting issues. Enuff soapboxing, great vid! 😊

Thanks for watching! Many bad reviews on equipment are because people use bad fuel or leave them sitting thinking it is ok. Glad you got it going!

Have now used this to clean house siding and it performed well kzread.infoUgkx43QMbQqu67IZadu9ou8Sg1BdrunMRNqX I also bought some wand extensions which enabled higher washing without needing a ladder. I recommend both. This unit arrived quickly, was easy to assemble (only had to attach the handle), and arrived in perfect condition. The only very slight downgrade from a perfect score is the design has a low handle and requires pulling from the side. My old washer was an upright model, while this one is more horizontal. Other than that, it's perfect for my needs. It has a great deal of pressure and more easily cleaned the house siding, porch rails and concrete than did my older model. The engine is a bit louder, as well, but the total time to clean was reduced by the more powerful spray. Did I mention it starts on the first or second pull every time?!! I am definitely happy with this model.

@IndRepair I have a problem maybe you can create a new video or a solution you can share. I have a similar Craftsman pressure washer that you used in your carb cleaning video. The washer runs with one pull. When you pull the pressure wand, the engine dies. I replaced the unloader valve with a new one and I'm getting the same result. Any ideas why it's dying? Thanks

Very informative video! Thank you

Thanks for posting this video! After replacing the carb, magneto, plug, and pump head I finally got mine running again. Adjusting the throttle cable is what finally got it started up consistently. However I do have to put a clamp on the handle to keep it on so it will start? The pull to start hangs up and it actually lifts the front of the pressure washer up and tips over if I don’t? Lastly when I put in the zero degree tip and pull the trigger it just shuts off immediately? Any help would be appreciated. So glad I found this video for this specific model!!!

Great video thank you very much.

Finally a video that matches my exact model. Great stuff! Any reason my oil would have a strong gas odor? I'm going to change the oil. I watched your video, got the carb cleaned out, linkage matches your close ups, new spark plug, fresh gas, but when I try to start it up, it just sputters for a few seconds and turns off. Any ideas on what to try next?

Many times the backpressure from the pump will stick during startup and make it almost impossible to pull. Release the high pressure in the hose/wand by pulling the wand trigger and try again. Thanks for watching!

I was wondering, how would you drain the oil from this model? Also, what if the water pump isn't making any pressure?

Remove the dipstick then tip it over on the side so the oil tube is closest to the ground (air filter will be facing up)

If the pump isn't making pressure check water supply for air and make sure all connections are right to begin with. If not water is coming out at all you likely have a blockage in the hose or wand most times

The previous owner loaned a near new pressure washer to a neighbor after only one use. When he got it back it wasn’t working. He replace spark plug, carburetor, new oil and gas and wouldn’t start. He threw it out after many attempts so I picked it up. First I noticed there’s no spark as I tested as you’ve shown. I noticed the red wire was connected from the starter to ground. The black wire attached to switch but dangling. I watched your video and it showed the black is connect from starter to switch. The red wire from ground to switch. Now it runs perfectly and I got myself almost new pressure washer for free.

Clean and flush carburetor and tank

I can get mine to start with an alternative fuel supply, but it only runs for a few seconds and then dies again. I've cleaned the carburetor, but it didn't change anything. I got a spark and compression. If I open the carb drain, the fuel is dripping through, so up until the carburetor, there doesn't seem to be any obstruction in the fuel line. Oh, and the gas is new too. What else can I check?

If it is getting to the carburetor but still not starting there is either a massive air leak between the carburetor and engine or the main jet is clogged
