My cheap ($300-400) Generac purchased at Home Depot has had some problems for a few years... It is about 5 years old. I would have a hard time getting it to stay in High Pressure Mode for an extended period of time. Basically I would have to hold the nozzle on the entire time otherwise forget about getting it into High Pressure Mode if I left off of it. Oh, yeah it is 2300psi, 2.9 gallon per minute, with a 6hp Briggs and Stratton Motor
Just borrowed a friends nozzle. It is not the nozzle. I think I am unable to get the air out of the system which probably means I need to either replace or rebuild my pump! Damn :mad3:
Replace it with a nice belt driven one from http://www.mitm.com/. Been more than happy with mine, had it for over a year using it at least twice a week washing semi's and equipment. Expensive but nice.
Ive rebuilt prolly 20 preasure washer pumps, not worth it. doesn't last, all thats in them cheap ones is a bunch of check valves for the most part. shit load of o rings.
Bob Villa came through! The unloader needed a little grease... Works awesome again
