    The pump sounded awful noisy, hopefully it works. I’m in the process of building a pressure washer, had to order a new pump because the used one I have I cannot find the right valves for it, I still have to rebuild a gx160 I had that has no compression but parts are on the way. Can’t wait to have my own pressure washer

    Rust is just oxidized iron. Boil it for 20 minutes and it will turn to black oxide. I would run a cup wire wheel on that, boil it, and oil it and then heat it up until it smokes.

    Wow, another great restoration. I replace these for a friend who has a business as he can’t e downtime when the pumps fail. I’ve often thought of rebuilding them but haven’t found the time. Knowing how they operate, I am curious to see how the appliance paint holds up as the pump gets very hot. The other thing I couldn’t tell from the video was if you sourced new pistons? Most are ceramic and prone to cracking due to misuse. Much the same as placing a hot glass into cold water 😮. My friend was going through them way faster than he should have. I did some research and found that the flow of water was a huge part of cooling. This causes a problem when you leave the machine running while moving things out of the way to continue cleaning. While doing this the pump gets overheated and when the water begins to flow again the cold causes pistons to fail permanently. After finding this out, I downloaded a number of manuals for different brands of power washers and all advised to shutdown the engine if there was no water flowing through the pump. It varied slightly but a good rule of thumb is no more than 5 minutes of idle runtime. I suggested that when he shuts down the engine he squeezed the trigger for a few minutes to allow a flow of water to slowly cool down the pump. This has significantly increased the life of the pumps on his equipment. That was some very ugly sludge/milkshake that came out of the sump 😮.

    @@Failure_Is_An_OptionThis information below is readily available on the web and is a recommendation. All the pumps I have replaced were AI commercial ones. I have disassembled two of them and the components were destroyed. Why Should My Pressure Washer Be Turned Off When Not In Use? If you let a pressure washer run without pulling the trigger, the water stays inside the pump. This water continues to heat up and will melt the seals on the pump. Plus, the pump continues to heat up, so when you pull the trigger again, cold water is entering a very hot pump and can cause pump cavitation. Some pumps have a bypass hose to recirculate the water and cool it down, but you still do not want to let it sit for long without pulling the trigger even with the bypass hose. It's best to always turn the pressure washer off when not in use. If your pressure washer is not working, or if your pressure washer keeps shutting off, this may be a cause of the issue.

    Acid is way riskier, especially if something's thin or delicate. It may seem like the better choice given the comparison, but there's always the easy risk of losing a bit of what's underneath the rust before the reaction is stopped with the soda bath. Combine electrolysis with sandblasting in either one or any order, and you get the same positive results as acid. Electrolysis could also be way cheaper if you already have an electrode, connectors, and an anode, by only needing tap water and salt or soda.
