Steve's Small Engine Saloon can you put a bigger pump on a 3400 psi 2.5 gallons machine ?
Drinking rum before 10am makes you a pirate not an alcoholic
This is accurate.

What a relief!
Arrgh
Very informative.
Never were truer words spoken... Everyone has a favorite tip that they use all the time and the fact that holes wear over time and get bigger n bigger and bigger.
On a more serious note. It would seem to me that the majority of people's issues can be traced to the quality of their water supply.. And this video affirms that belief. We must develop a way to clean the inside of the pumps without having to open them.. I'm thinking soap, vinegar and something coarse in a loop for a few minutes along with a soak of hot RO water. Any suggestions?
Otherwise planned obsolescence wins. Can't have that.
You just gains a like and a sub. What a great video. Simple easy step by step troubleshooting. THanks :)
Awesome, thank you!
Boom, just solved the problem!
Right on
I had torn the pump apart, couldn't find anything wrong. Finally decided to look it up, found Steve, put the correct nozzle on and waa-freakin-laa. I'll never tell my wife- she already knows. Thanks sir.
Right on Josh...
Steve, my pressure washer has a strange issue maybe you can do a video on. Comet pump, Honda engine. Engine idles fine. When wand pulled the engine stows down more and more the longe4 it’s pulled and will stall the engine. Replace comet pump and has the same result.wand issue maybe?
Paul McDonald mine does the same. I thought it was the pump also.
Hey mate I know this is an old video but my adjuster knob just has a bolt shoved in it an Yh I have no
Pressure also my handle an line an nozzles are brand new
Why my water pressure run for 30 minutes, then come out warm water with alot buble (just like using detergent)?
Cheers
Steve my pressure washer blows the fuse, checked fuse not problem, when I release the gun, any ideas, Tia.
Your videos always make me thirsty 🤣🍺
LOL....
4 min in and needs another beer.
I don't even own a pressure washer. I just like watching Steve's video. "wicked" awesome
Right on thanks buddy....
Found on in the dump and got it work:)
I'm gonna fix my pressure washer...here, hold my beer!
If i hold it I'll drink it all!
Lol
So crazy I found you on RUclips you dated Elizabeth’s momma.
What i did was, install a whole-house water filter, by: Rainfresh ,a bc2 ,charcoal filter ,has about a 5 micron rating, cleanses the water out of all substances normally found in water,
Always have silicone grease handy for tips, o-rings, and other connections. And remember when changing a tip to rotate it in the end of he wand to insure it's seated. Otherwise it may end up in a neighbors yard or in a low orbit.
Haha that’s really funny. I was that guy once.
@@northbetrue😂😂😂 that has definitely happened a time or 2 in my 15 years of power washing.
How do you a just the PSI, or even tell how much PSI is coming out of the pump?
Ha, my issue was no tip on my wand. I was thinking I purchased a broken used pressure washer. It's the simple things.
I've been fixing my own stuff for decades (drinking beer most of the time as well), but I learn something new in each and every one of Steve's videos. Thanks, Steve.
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
Agreed, thanks for such the resource Steve - you're managing a dying art, there is less and less repair anymore. People are baffled when I fix things, even cars. Knee jer reaction out here is 'take it in' or more likely 'time for a new one'.....sucks.
How about that unloader is there things that malfunction inside that ? Mine kinda acts funny the uploader doesn't seem to change much there's pressure but not as much as there should be it seems. HELP STEVE ! 😢
You covered the basics, but not all of them, the lack of pressure could also be because the water supply has low pressure such as from a well with a small pump and tank (not city water) I noticed that when using mine at my sons home across the road from me. My pressure washer works great at my place but I seem to run out of water at his place when the water pump at the well has a low water level in the tank. You need to wait for the pump and tank to catch up so it can supply the pressure washer. The other could be that there is a kink in the garden hose
I have a Generac Model 01537-1 (Honda engine) This thing has me baffled... The only way I can get it to go to high pressure is almost stall it by choke and release choke quickly and it will kick on... Then when I release the trigger on the wand and pull the trigger again it will not go to high pressure.. Got to go through the same steps. what do you think?
Hey Steve. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to help people out! You do a great job at teaching in a very basic way with clarity and easy to comprehend steps! I wanted to add that in the case of no pressure build-up when running, the unloader valve pintle/shaft may be stuck in the (spring) compressed position, thereby unseating the check ball, not allowing the pressure to build because it's bypassing the restrictor. The opposite can occur if the pintle is stuck in the extended position to where the spring is always decompressed, thereby not allowing any water to bypass the spring tension. In that case, the pressure washer will always put out high pressure and worse off the pump will always be "loaded" which makes the engine very hard to start if the water is on and attached to the pressure washer. I've actually narrowed this problem down by removing the water hose and then pull the rope and immediately the engine is able to rotate/start, as long as there is no water attached. Obviously, this is only to be done as a quick diagnosis, NOT to be ran more than a few seconds with no water attached. I hope that I explained all that clearly. Maybe you disagree but I just wanted to mention these things because I've experienced both scenarios. Either way, thank you for doing what you do to help people!
Is there a video on more in depth pressure pump diagnosis and/or repair?
Would love to see a few different pumps in pieces and what is likely to fail in an actually worn out, broken or dry run pump, which ones are worth repairing and which ones are better off being replaced.
I have a few salvaged ones and although the really big ones are worth a fortune and almost certainly worth repair, it's hard to know how far to chase for parts and when to cut losses!
Cheers Steveo!
Appreciate all your videos, ya legend!!
Steve,
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. My pressure washer stopped making pressure as I was using it. I had just bought new tips so I never thought to check the orifices. When I did, thanks to your video, I found that two of the four new tips were blocked. After clearing the blockages, I checked the water pathway step by step - entry, exit, hose, wand, and tip. I then fired up the pressure washer, and it worked like a champ. Checking the tips seems obvious now, but given that I had just bought new ones, I didn’t think of it. Your video helped me to see the light, literally! Thanks again.
You're Welcome...
It was the preasure relive valve Chinese type and they haven't used a nylon thread nut and had unscrewed with vibration. Mine didn't have a red or black handle
If we could bottle up "common sense", we'd be millionaires! 😉
Its been on back order for years LOL.
@@wildbill23c That old bottle I have is still sealed! It's worth more that way.
Great video that helped alot. I have an older craftsman clean and carry 4.0 hp brigs and stratton pressure washer. No water exiting the nozzel. What I found was I have a two piece wand. After unscrewing the front from the back I found lime CAKED TO THE MAX at the front piece. I decided to totally disassemble the wand which was only a handful of small phillips head screws and cleanthoroughly. Works like brand new. Thank again for your amazing tutorial. If you are ever in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, USA I'll gladly buy you a Budweiser and rum and cokes! Cheers...
I will try all tips tomorrow on my pump... today made me angry it just worked fine and then after 10mins I was getting low pressure and then ended up with no pressure and then even the water by itself not coming out! OH My GOD!
Thanks Steve, I've watched several of your vids, always so helpful and easy to follow along. I'm no mechanic but have grown weary of always spending what seems llike a ridiculous & never ending amount of $$ yr after yr to keep all my small engine stuff running so out of necessity I've started trying to fix a few of my small engine issues as they arise, and your vids have helped on several occasions. Oh man I could sure wish I had a cousin or brother in law with your knowledge & skills but unfortunately I'm stuck with a bunch of guys as dumb as me. Thanks again pal....you're the best !
You're Welcome...
Thanks. Found a clogged screen in sprayer. Cleaned out works great. My favorite saying is got gas. From sling blade. Had water going in but none coming out. Took off sprayer and turned water on to flush out anything else that could be in it. I appreciate your videos
Thanks Steve useful advice as always. I once bought an expensive electric washer that lasted until the week after the warranty expired. Cracked plastic cylinder head, despite draining it properly each time.Customer Services politely showed me the middle finger .My lesson is Aways choose one with metal head and not made by Karcher!
Amen, Brutha...
I visited Vancouver Island several years ago. What a beautiful place! Thanks for the "tips"...
Our pleasure!
This didn't help my pressure issue. Tried everything you mentioned, but I am leaving a like because I learned a lot, and you do a good job at explaining.
Steve, before you start the engine. Hook up your hose, squeeze the wand and get the air out of the pressure hose. Also some machines you have to hold the trigger on the wand to relieve the pressure to start the pressure sprayer.thought you would like to know.
Very true. Easy to burn up the seals if water is not running free thru the pump BEFORE starting the motor.
You're terrific!! Great detail and pictures. Thank you.
Do you like that winterizing chemical in the screw on can?
My problem is I got a new Simpson Water Blaster (belt driven), 4,200 Psi @ 4 GPM. I put a test gauge on it between the hose and gun inlet. The unloader is turned all the way up, and the gauge only reads 2,900-3,000 Psi operating pressure when I’m on the trigger (all nozzles, 0, 15, 25 read about the same), when I release the trigger pressure spikes back up to 4,000-4,200, it’s never consistent….it might spike to 4,200 but will then slowly drop down to 4,000 or right below that. I know that what should happen is the operating pressure should be 4,000-4,200 when on the trigger, with a 300-500 psi spike when I let off…but that’s not happening and I don’t know why.
Good video! I like the Budweiser, and you look like a Skinnier version of Bull from Night Court.😂
Steve, I hope that you see this.
Off-topic I know but I couldn’t figure how else to get my question to you.
My 10 year old Stihl RE 108 Pressure Washer (electric) has started to turn itself on then immediately off, when at rest. Do you know what might be causing this? Thanks, Peter
Or, I could just make sure the thing is plugged in 😣 LOL
In ur opion what's the best built 3000psi + gas pressure washer, pressure pro, simpson, generic, North star, Mi-T-M, dewalt ex... Thank you for everything you do for us all love ur videos keep it up 👍🙏
Thanks Steve for helping this rookie small engine Mechanic in Florida. I'm more of the electrical technition but learning more everyday on the mechanics. Loving it!! Cheers Buddy! It's the first thing I go for after work, they won't let us drink on the clock!.. Lol
Right on Rob...
Thanks for the tips! I have an Ex-cell 2,500psi Honda powered pressure washer and after about 2hrs of use I keep breaking the radial piston straps (10" x 1 1/2" pcs. of flat steel mounted above and below the pump cam shaft that flex as the piston pump rotates) I'm wondering why this happens. Thanks for any ideas.
What can it be if the pump make pressure variation ? The engine run fine and I having a great pression without the hi pressure hose ? Thanks !
It means you do not have good water pressure from the garden hose. If you use it very much it will destroy the pump. Never needs to be chattering
My preasure washer is brand new only used it once and when I used the soap nozzel it used soap fast and it ran out, I then switched nozzles to get high preasure and there's nothing.. no jumping of the cable it's a steady stream out nozzel. Please any ideas ? It's nothing on the wand no twisty end ? Please please anyone any ideas ?
On tomorrow's next episode Steve will be taking apart his liver and replacing the main seals and reinstall. Stay tuned my Bros 😎
Pretty sure the unloader valve is bad on mine I am getting drove nuts by pressure settling at 4200 PSI when I let go of the of the trigger when I pull the trigger with the 0° nozzle on pressure drops all the way to 2600 PSI give or take it's a 3600 psi rated machine. Ruled out being a low supply pressure because my outdoor faucets are all unregulated and I get 140+ PSI at all of them (I have to use reinforced hoses for my garden hoses). All of my other pressure washers produce pressure at what they're rated for I have ruled out everything but the unloader on this one waiting on a new one now.
Hey, Bud, the beer makes you Wieser.
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.
As usual your video is the most direct and straightforward approach based on a reasonable & logical progression to obtain a satisfactory resolution. The easy manner and understandable narration keeps the listener/viewer from getting lost in the weeds. Remarkably simple machines in so many ways yet they can perplex a mechanic who is too self-assured to look for the obvious solution. Your method is the best. You take the viewer into the mechanics of the repair without over complicating the process. Superb video once again. Thank You

Right on Mike! Thank You...
Agreed 👌
Damm! So well explained, and Very well written! Thanks for this comment!
Hi Steve, I have a pressure washer with a Honda GX160 engine and CAT Pump (model 2SFX30GS). The engine usually starts in 1 pull and it seems to run fine. I get good pressure from the gun, but the engine only runs for around 30 seconds, then sputters and dies. After starting, I can operate the gun for less than 1 minute before the engine stalls. If I release the trigger before the 30 seconds, sometimes the engine would sputter and dies. Basically, the engine dies randomly when the pressure washer is operating, and also sometimes dies when the gun trigger is either pressed down or released.
At first, I thought it was the engine. I disassembled the carburetor and cleaned the jets. I didn't see any worn parts inside. I also changed the gas tank fuel filter, swapped the gas tank cap with a known good one to rule out venting issues, and unplugged the engine-oil sensor to test. The problem persisted. I then swapped the entire carburetor with a working one from another GX160 engine, and still have the problem. At this point, I speculated it was unlikely the engine. I disassembled the unloader valve and didn't see much wear, and the plunger moved freely without problems. I lubed the seals on the unloader valve with a tiny bit of silicone paste, and the plunger with a small bit of light oil and reassembled, and experienced the same problem afterward. The times the engine didn't die when I release the gun trigger, I see the unloader-valve spring being compressed.
At this point, I'm completely stumped. The pressure washer was working fine last year before I winterized it. What do you think is causing this problem? Is there some malfunction in the CAT pump that can cause the engine to stall when the trigger is down and the gun spraying (i.e., no water bypass)?
Now I've got to go get me a pressure washer to justify my rum & coke. Thankx Steve
Let me know what your wife says about that. I’ll try it too, good advice as far as I’m concerned. The reason is good I’d say.
Eureka dude I almost took the pump out for an amateur surgery till I checked your video. Changed the spray snozzell and she's barking like she should. You're the Best!!🎉
Right on
Steve, First things first. Is water coming out of the garden HOSE? Always run water thru the hose to flush it out before connecting to the machine. Next, Check the screen where the hose connects to the pump. I can't tell you how many times I have seen that clogged. Good tips man.
John me, absolutely. Had a no pressure situation, disconnected the hose and a little lizard ran out of the open end.
Excellent comment John. Thank you...
Wealth of knowledge and very underrated channel. Love the vids
Thank You...
Hey Steve I have a cat pump model number 67DX, I was wondering if you could help me out. I have a problem getting the crank case back on over the connecting rods and crankshaft. Any tips or tricks?
Thanks for the great videos. On a related topic ... will you please show us how to fix a pressure washer that doesn't want to draw in the chemicals or soap? Cheers!
Your trying to use the wrong tip. Or you are trying to use to much hose. 50 ft maximum. Or you need to unscrew the thing your hose connects to. Just unscrew it about 4 turns
I’m gonna check the reducer spring. But mine is pulsing water out of the little black nozzle. Never noticed it before.
After marijuana is legalized in Canada, Steve will be smoking a joint while giving tips. lol
I have one from Harbor freight the 3100 psi.. when I squeeze the trigger it makes a loud whining noise. Can you buy a new pump ? Would it be worthwhile. Thanks for sharing your videos Steve.
I’m partial to Yeungling, myself. Jameson works too!
I just picked up a decent Honda pressure washer for free. Cranks up first pull but the same pressure comes out weather the pump is on or not. Check valve isn't stuck. I can't figure it out. I can hear the engine not go under load when I pull the trigger. I'm afraid something bigger is the problem as i've checked all the little things.
Thanks man trading work for a pressure washer tomorrow that's been used two times but has low pressure it's a Honda so hope I get lucky.
I got lucky new pressure washer nothing wrong with it tip was the problem they used soap tip thing started first pull changed tip wow pressure.
Same here got a crafstman pressure washer no pressure no easy fix though. I'm fix small engines for a living now lost my job with this covid 19 bullshit long story short I'm an engine mechanic not too educated on pumps. Been through all the easy fixes expecting a bad pump unfortunately
I have a Generac 2400 pressure washer, Briggs vertical engine... I cleaned screens and inside nozzle but first spray is still high pressure as long as I hold trigger then all other spraying I get half pressure. Last attempt to dismantle nozzle, after soaking nozzle in soapy water I found two bearings and a black plastic washer but don’t know where they go... I cannot adjust the stream now so I am thinking they have something to do with that. Also there are U clamps holding the nozzle to extension rod, one on outer yellow section and one on inner black section. I can’t get the extension to move from nozzle to adjust pressure, seems like it is stuck on high setting. Any help would be much appreciated.
Hi Steve
Could you do a video on rebuilding a unloader. Mine leaks from underneath my pressure adjustment knob. I have replaced the o rings with no luck.
Thanks Bob
i have a pressure washer that the pumps works fine but when i release the wand handle it seems to keep pressurizing and stalls the engine out instead of it going back to idle, the pump was replaced and isn't very old. any idea? thanks
Hey steve. Water doesn't even come out of my nozzle at all.
The little plungers will get stuck shut from rust take them out unstick them by pushing on them then scotch bright them
I have a Honda GC190 pressure washer. One day while it was running it started smoking bad. What cause it to smoke? Thanks.
Steve: I have a 3700 PSI pressure washer and had to replace the 6 check valves on the pump last summer due to loss of pressure. I used it about 3 hours since then, and it just lost pressure again. I pulled the pump apart and found all 6 valves are trashed! There were pieces of plastic all through the housing. What would cause all 6 new check valves to disintegrate?
Garbage in your water supply, or more likely, high chlorine in your water supply eating the plastic. They put all kinds of nasty chemicals into the water we're supposed to drink.
@@dustinmeier9753 Turned out to be a thermal/pressure relief valve that was not releasing excess pressure. Changed that along with the new check valves and works great. The pressure relief valve pisses when too much pressure builds up.
Ihave a Generac OneWash Power washer that I just put a new carb on. It now statrs okay but when I start to use it I get no pressure. Do you have a video on repairing the unloader valve? Maybe I put the springs and cables on the carb wrong. Thanks. Frank
Very informative,educational and worth watching till the very end.👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Thank You...
Question, I have a briggs 6.5 verticle shaft motor on my pressure washer, the motor locked up a week ago and I replaced the 6.5 Briggs with what I thought was an identical motor. I hooked it all up and the washer doesn't have full pressure. I got the old motor running long enough to hook it up again, son ran it out of oil because the oil cap came loose and he didn't notice. loosened up the piston and ran it for a little while, the pressure was back to normal on the pump, its a horizontal pump on the bottom of the vertical shaft motor. Is it possible I need to change the carb on the new motor so it will kick up and keep the pressure up on the washer? I can't just run the old motor, I'm not sure how long it will be before it locks up again, probably when I get it nice and hot. Anyway, do you have any recommendations or suggestions on what might be going on with my new motor? It was off of a snow blower but otherwise its the same motor, I did change the filter on the carb to the old one because the other motor only had the non filtered box. Thanks
Great video. I just got done pressure washing and I'd say the gun was at 60% power. Had to keep layering my passes to clean my fence. Thanks to you I can do these basic checks on my own. Appreciate the help. Keep making those videos 👍👊
Thank You...
I know this video is 4years old so you may not see the comment. Did everything you said, used the beer method and the rum and coke method.
Didn't work. My problem is that it spits and sputters and sometimes when you pull the lever the engine shuts off.
With the wand off it works ok with lots if water coming out.
Cleaned out all the lines and nozzles, even took those 2 tiny things out of the top of the pump.
Everything is as clear as vodka.
But it is still sputtering and surging, and sometimes you have to pull the trigger on the wand and kind of diddle with it to stop the engine from shutting off.
Engine works perfectly
cheers for Canada! xD
thanx you for talk good, im not good to talk english, but undestand hummm 75% maybe hhahahahha
here we talk spanish
thanx and cheers
chilemichael de donde eres? Vives en Canadá y aún no hanlas inglés?
It all depends on the community you interact with, nada más no dependas de tus hijos o de alguien más para interactuar con las personas que solo hablan inglés eso no te deja ser self dependent, si te corrigen eso es bueno no es malo no te sientas mal, te ayuda a aprender the right way good luck in this new journey living in a Canada !! 👏👏👏
Can't figure mine out. No pressure with engine running. Motor tone never changes. Just took the unloader spring out (verticle pump) and freed up the plunger. Put back together and same issue. Spring wasn't broken or rusted at all. Stumped
The wire from a wire brush works really well also. It will work for cleaning those small carburetor jets too. Just use a pair of pliers and pluck it from the brush.
Great tip!
Also the e string from an acoustic or an electric guitar has a good possibility to opening up a small office even an orifice
I have been watch your videos for a while now and I’m very thankful for your Chanel. What pressure washer would you buy for driveway cleaning? Any advice is appreciated.
Blow torch tip cleaners work great for cleaning the tips out.
michael moseley they work great on carburetors too!
Great video. I have a low pressure situation. I checked all that you mentioned. I have the vertical pump. I'm thinking un-loader valve. Could this cause low pressure? Thanks
You have been a great help for all of us with small engines. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise.
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
Steve's Small Engine Saloon hey Steve i check all that stuff you mention but my pump has a black little hose and when i twist and twist it start to suck the water and gain pressure by chance you know what can be the issue ?
Hey Steve. My problem is when I fire up my pressure washer the the water is blowing back out where my high pressure hose connects to the pump. I’ve checked the hose and tip for a clog. When it’s not running and water is on water sprays out the nozzle. Help!
Steve I can watch your videos all day just wondering do you work on cars
Thank you very much. But. What if you get good pressure. Then goes away. On and off ?
Thank you, Steve, most informative.

You're Welcome...
Tanks for the instructions, you are very clear but you don't explain how to work on the pump on your right on your bench. Tha's the one I have and when I pull the trigger the engine loses power. I don't know if the problem is the pump or the engine itself. I will appreciate if you talk about this problem. Have a good day..
I like your process. The easy stuff first. Great video. Too bad no one reads manuals anymore. But, that keeps a lot of shops in business.
Thank You...
Hi Steve. I have a honda 3700 presure washer it turns on but if I turn it off it doesn't want to start again. What could the issue be? Thank You Love your show learned a lot.
Hey Steve forgot one thing. The garden hose side most of the time has a screen and washer. I have seen them plugged as well. Just another tip to look for! But in all great video!
Steve- I put hot water through my comet pressure washer and now its lost pressure. Would you think I've melted something in the pump? regards Mark
Thanks! It was the last one for me, ( I live in Abbotsford BC) now trying to find a new spring.
Victoria bc here
I have a Karcher 2400 pressure washer. my problem is when i start up the washer, press the trigger I have no pressure. then I remove the spray tip and just run some water, I put the tip back in and i have full pressure, if i let off the trigger i need to do this process every time. i have used different tips, they all work fine. but i always need to pull the trigger without the tip then put the tip back in and it works fine. i put the tip in immediately. what is my problem? I really like your channel, it is great. thanks
Steve rocks
Thank You...
I'm grateful, I have learned more from your video than the 1,000's I have watched. Thank you sir. By the way, you can pass for the late Patrick Swayze 's brother.
Excellent!
@ 13:26 folks if you need parts be sure you have model serial and product numbers if you want the correct parts. nothing more frustrating for the customer and the parts man than handing a part and sayin i need this. smsfh.
Excellent point. Thank you for that Richard!
Is the pump shot if you have a small stream coming out and the hand trigger is doing nothing. Or does that mean the pump is no good. If so can the pump be fixed. It has been ran quite a bit without water hooked up. It is a mitsubishi 600.
I LOVE you but Bud isn't beer.
On my last wash, mine worked fine, stopped to speak to someone, then it took a short period for the pressure to come back.
The next day i tried again & same thing, it took a short time & pressured up. Once it does it's good, till it sits off for a while. Any ideas ?
