    I have just found two K4 machines in a skip, the first one had a dirty filter which is based at the start of the inlet pipe and now works perfectly, second one is the K4 economy, this one has low pressure and it pulsates, so I will now order a new head for it, thanks so much for doing this video 👍

    Thanks for your helpful video. I like to try to fix all at home. I have a K4 BASIC bought two years ago that, since new, it had a hard start pulsing, but after several seconds it worked fine. This would happen again if I stopped using it for some minutes. I thought about taking it to the supplier, but due to COVID, I did not do it and now it is out of warranty and now is just pulsing with just a few hours of use. I let it bleed for more than 20 minutes several times and it did not help. Now I'm going to start by opening it and exploring to see what I find. Already have good information to try to get it back without overspending. Thanks a lot and best regards from México.

    I used this pump to replace the pump on a Ecell 3100 PSI pump. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxEU8wdEWW31diRsOawsCNfWEho39M27qd The model # is PWZ0163100.02 for those looking for a matching pump. It went on very easily - 10 minutes at most. Feels like a lot more power than the original but that's to be expected. Can't tell a difference when cleaning with the wand or floor sprayer. Would recommend as it was cheaper than most I found. The maintenance free aspect is definitely a plus too. Have used it through about 6 tanks of gas and have zero issues so far.

    Great video, my k2 wasn't gaining any pressure and the motor wouldn't turn off and kept on regardless. After replacing the entire head unit I discovered that the metal gear on the motor has separated from the shaft. If you turn it by hand it all spins but under any physical pressure it doesn't spin just the shaft on the motor spins. If you ever have similar issues its worth looking at, Im going to put a bead of weld on the tip over the gear and shaft tip to hold the gear solid onto the shaft

I'm now looking where to find this metal gear you are talking about but can't find it. Is it visible in this video somewhere or do I have to disassemble it a bit further in order to find it?

    I bought new pressure washer in around April by Dec it's not building pressure I took a look cleaned up thr filter and checked the lance. It's too late at night to see if that'll be enough! I think it's the pump inside. It'll be me doing the work on my own if not. I have a pro kleen in brand. Honestly I've had enough of these types though I saw the drill type cordless ones I think I may have to just buy another. Again. Great video really appreciated.

    Fixing surging can be as simple as changing o rings on the lance commectors, also changing the large o ring inside the pump housing. I’ve fixed mine a few times over the years that way but now my power won’t turn off, and the lance is maybe putting out 20% of what it should have so away to look at the cylinder head and electrical module.

      @@JackZapper yes it worked but took me a lot longer than it should have. Taking the hose reel and putting it back on took ages cuz the pinch clip is angled to lock and a nightmare to get back in of you have a premium version. Replacing the cylinder head is easy enough. I used an impact driver to undo the bolts. So tight I would have had no chance doing manually. I also lost HOURS because I snapped the on/off lever as I lay it face down to help put on the reel so do not do that. I had to reglue and still then it isn't exactly straight or smooth. Anyway the install is easy enough apart from the issues I had. Was very satisfying it worked.

      @@JackZapper I think it's a 3yr warranty in Australia so would cover most ppl maybe with a k4. I think it's good it's an easy fix and cheap compared to the purchase price depending where u live. But expensive compared to the full cost of say a gerni. At least it is repairable if you were otherwise happy with the k4. Unsure if the usual things like emptying out all the water and pressure help prevent these issues. I got my k4 for $80 used with a pressure issue so all up not bad including the repair bill and some wrenching. I did however just buy a brand new k5 which has 7 yr warranty in Australia so pretty comfortable it's covered despite being quite overpriced. The k4 was a little low on flow and pressure and the k7 was stupid expensive and way too big to be practical.

    @larrylarry1206 2 года назад

    I have discovered that there is another possible cause of pulsing with the K3 unit. The housing that contains the low pressure water inlet and the high pressure water outlet can crack, allowing water to leak out OR pass from the high to the low pressure side. This results in pulsing. It requires the replacement of the very expensive manifold (currently about USD$ 82-115 !! The cracks can happen if water freezes in the unit. I just replaced the pump head as you showed, now I'm faced with another expense that begs the question "is it worth fixing?"

    Hi very informative I did give up with mine until I watched your video, I have a Karcher B203 model which I've had for a number of years. In all that time I had it I got to use it once, and that was to clean a driveway of someone I knew. I then let that person have use of it when they wanted to which was fairly regular. Everything was fine until I needed to use it to give my car a thorough clean doing underneath as well, and got it all set up ready to use. Guess what it didn't work nothing at all happened no sound no nothing. So I'm thinking that the person that used had run it without the water turned on and messed it up I did tell them but they chose not tell me at the which was wrong. I then stored in my garage in the hope of one day getting it repaired maybe this is the time. Oh I did check the fuse that was OK, do you have any ideas on what may be wrong with it please regards Reg

    Unfortunately, my machine was exposed to frost and since then I have the pulsing problem exactly as you describe.
    Do you think following your instruction should fix it? Or could it be pulsing for a different reason caused by the frost?
    Also, do you know is the part in your description compatible with a regular K4 (ie not compact version)
    Thanks again

      Should be the same. Part number will be on the unit. If its been exposed to Frost, it'll probably cracked the head so will need replacing l.

    Hello, Great video. Thank you. We have a Karcher K4 Full Control. The water pressure from the hose is fine. I've run water through it without the high pressure hose attached to clear any air locks or debris. When I turn the pressure wash on, it doesn't pulse. With the vario lance attached and set to low pressure it doesn't pulse. If I turn the vario lance to the highest pressure, that's when it starts to pulse. I can turn the vario lance ever so slightly below the highest pressure and it doesn't pulse. I've attached the dirt blaster lance which operates at the highest pressure and the washer still pulses. It certainly looks like a pressure issue. Is it likely to be the cylinder head pump that is faulty? Thank you, Ant

    This doesn’t seem to be like my K4 full control… my washer kept running with wand (small hand gun part), or if I release the trigger it keeps running but not water coming out. It wasn’t pulsing just kept running… do they have uploader Switch/valve something? Mine is now about 200 quid. Bought in 2018 I think, latest 2019. That make sense to you? Thanks for your vids, they’re great, just not this time I reckon.

Also there must be a problem with the two adjustable lances that I have as you cannot get pressure with them attached yet when I attach my new lance it works perfectly ( but still searching when trigger not pressed ). It works fine with both old and new dirt - bust lances. I have stripped both old lances down and they are so so simple it can only be the end pieces not adjusting or leaking. Can you buy new ones ? Thanks

    Hi mate great video.
    I stripped mine down as my K4 water gushing water internally.
    Could see it leaking on the control head seen in your video.
    I have replaced that.
    Good news is I no longer have any visual leaks.
    The inline filter at the inlet is clear.
    And pressure seems good. But the motor isn't kicking off when you stop with the trigger.
    The new control head came assembled but the part came with a white insert collar and flat seal which the kit said I had to fit.
    Plus I lost the tiny pea ball valve on the soap line that connect to the pump head.
    Would that cause the pump to not shut off?
    Or have I reassembled wrong somewhere.
    I am tech savvy and pretty sure I assembled everything right.
    Any help help appreciated.
    Great video...

    • @jammyone100
      @jammyone100  Месяц назад +1

      Most likely if you have replaced the head it may not be sealed or tightened down enough. Also check you haven't any leaks from the high pressure hose!
      Just double check the cylinder head bolts a little grease helps it seal too.

      As I pulled it apart the 3 springs popped off and I had to refer to another video.
      I put the on the top of the 3 while plunger type valves on the top over what looks like a mercedes emblem on the top. But have a feeling the go under.neath .
      Eitherway I will try your suggestions and certainly appreciate the time you have taken to reply.

      ​@@jammyone100Hi jammy this will help anyone out there. Mine is now working like new. So in the new control head the kit had a white insert collar and a rubber flat seal about 3mm thick. The instructions tell you to fit this but the original part didn't have this.
      And this part is what trips the motor off and the rod on the piston plunger with this extra part effects the travel distance of this plunger. And I thought about it. And thought we'll if the old one didn't have it then why should the new one ?
      I was right. But appreciate your help.
      And I know others had the same issue as me with the pump still running after changing the control head.
      Hope this helps others with this issue.
