Honda 2500 PSI Gas Pressure Washer Questions & Answers
I have the Husky 2600 I got it to start it will run for about 10 min.then it will shut down.I can restart it then it does it again
This is sometimes caused by dirt or debris in the fuel tank, carburator float bowl or in-line fuel filter if it has one. When you start the motor the dirt is settled down and the motor runs fine. While the motor is running, the vibrations and fuel flowing through the system agitates the dirt and it eventually plugs the filter or jets. When the motor shuts down the dirt settles down and the process repeats. Replace the in-line filter if it has one and clean out the float bowl on the carb. While you have the fuel line off, let some gas flow through the fuel lines to flush them out. If dirt is a problem also check your gas can(s).
The pressure washer starts but
Common problem. The water admitance valve is stuck in the bore. The valve lets in more water when pressure drops and when wand is closed the pressure builds and the incoming water is blocked. Remove the valve spool and clean the bore with crocus cloth on a dowel rod. Replace the O Rings and lube with plumber's grease and re-assemble. Often you can buy an O Ring kit for the unit. Deposits build up and stick the valve spool at the high pressure end. The valve is usually crossways to the shaft and right where the water input is connected.
What kind of soap do i use and do i use it strait
most solutions are sold to be used as is , place the tube from the washer into the cleaning solution as you spray it will be mixed with the spray water . the kind of cleaner depends on what you are cleaning . you can buy cleaner for decks or cars or house etc.
What oil goes in this unit?
Hi and welcome to FixYa, I am Kelly.
This response applies only to the engine:
Use 30 WT SAE engine oil.
You can use either detergent or non-detergent oil. I recommned 3 oil changes normal oil change intervals using 30 WT SAE non-detergent oil and on the 4th oil change use a detergent 30 WT Oil.
Thanks for choosing FixYa,
Kelly
