]]> Comment on Hot Water Pressure Washer Hose by David http://diesel-pressure-washer.com/hot-water-pressure-washer-hose/comment-page-1/#comment-2722 David Tue, 26 Oct 2010 13:00:29 +0000 http://diesel-pressure-washer.com/hot-water-pressure-washer-hose/#comment-2722 Low cold water pressure to washer and guest bathroom tub/shower? We live in a new house (built in 2007, never occupied until 2010). We have a well. The washer is on second floor, along with master and guest bathrooms. Water pressure, both cold and hot, are fine everywhere, but the cold water to washer and guest bath/shower get low. When investigating the washer, I turned of the valve to the machine, unhooked the hose from the machine, put it into the washer (had no bucket with me), and turned on the master valve. Pressure from cold is fine...flowed with full pressure. When hooked back up to the washer, it was fine too (telling me that there is not a clog in the machine itself). When the pressure gets low, say after 10-14 days, I repeat the above and the problem is solved, albeit temporarily. The guest bath tub/shower, also became low. I took the faucet off, investigated, found nothing. I found the second story shutoff valve for the cold water in the basement, turned it off, and then back on. It seemed to fix the problem, but now that doesn't work either for the above mentioned bathroom. Clearly the two problems are linked, but I'm at a loss. Any advice? Remember, the hot water pressure is fine, and the pressure elsewhere in the house is fine too. Advice? Thanks. Low cold water pressure to washer and guest bathroom tub/shower?

I've had this pressure washer for a few years. Recently, it had developed some running problems and I was later unable to start it at all. I let it sit for a few months, and today tried to take the carb off and clean it. Well the carb was just loaded with barnacle like deposits I guess from bad fuel sitting in there. I cleaned the heck out of it with various solvents, but there was still pitting. Blew out all the jets and reassembled. Now, the best I can get is the engine to turn over with starting fluid. It revs for a second or so then cuts off. It looks like the governor? or something is moving the throttle over to the shutoff position. I don't think I have it together wrong, but there are two lever holes on top of the throttle. I've got the spring loaded rod in the only hole it will fit. Is this a mechanical problem, or am I maybe missing a part on the whole governor/throttle assembly? I'm not entirely sure how it works. It just has a choke and a throttle which cuts the engine off when put one way and at top speed the other way. Thanks for any help! No there is no primer bulb. I got a parts view and it looks like everything is there. It just keeps revving and stopping. Boe: that sounds more like it. The float had this needle jet under it. Also what looked like a "channel" for the screw for the needle to set it. I wonder if I somehow set it wrong? Small 7HP craftsman (briggs) pressure washer engine fix?
