My engine is working or seems to be working fine on my pressure washer but there is little pressure coming through the wand when I try to clean off my sun deck. Why is this? Thank you.

There are a couple of reasons why you might get this fault. If the machine hasn't had loads of use I would suggest checking the wand for any dirt. You should be able to push and twist the lance from the handle, and then possibly the lance in half aswell. Once you have done this just firmly tap the tubes somewhere clean. If there was any dirt in the end it should dislodge and work fine again.
While you have the lance off the handle, run the machine up and make sure you are getting plenty of flow through the handle. The other problem you could have would be worn pump parts. Servicing the pump can be tricky so if this is the case I would recomend taking it to your nearest dealer/service agent.

Testimonial: "Thank you Stu. I will definitely give this a shot. If it doesn't work, I'll take it to my nearest dealer to have it serviced. "

Karcher pressure washer model K3.48M with 2 wands. One works fine the other not.

Greetings from Toronto :>)

Two different wands for different uses and one has a low (hardly any) pressure mode for spraying detergent. Have you read the manual? I found it.

Will start and run fine water comes out but has no pressure

Maybe bad pump. Remove wand and wand hose, run machine with water in. High pressure water coming out of wand/hose connection, bad wand or hose. No high pressure water, bad pump, replace.

My pressure washer will not gain pressure. What will cause this problem?

Make sure water supply is ok, make sure screen is clean, try all the different tips, make sure they are seated correctly. Water should come out of the hand wand even if not under pressure, this shows the wand handle is working, so if water come out it's not the trigger handle. You can remove the wand hose, wand handle and see if there is any obstructions also.

This can also be a stuck check valve, you might need to have it serviced.

I have a Briggs & Stratton Pressure Washer it was just working Fine THEN the water stopped coming out of the wand? Any Suggestion

Remove the tip and pull the wand trigger without the tip in. If water comes out then your tip is clogged. Clean the tip and reinstall. Or try a different tip.

Its also possible that there is a kink in the supply hose to the unit.

Try these first, it should solve the problem about 90% of the time

Reconditioned B&S pressure washer will not restart

Some suggestions:
Is the gas old? If in doubt replace it.
Try removing the air filter and spraying carburetor cleaner into the carb Then try starting it. If it runs for just a minute, then stops, the carburetor needs cleaning.

Karcher G 3000 BH Engine Pumping Problem

This may not be a motor problem. It sounds like your pump is not working properly and the motor is just following the pump. First thing to do is check for leaks in the pump, wand hose, gun etc. It may also be a blown water seal inside the pump.

Ex-Cell VR2500 Builds Pressure but Won't Spray

I have a similar problem and diagnosed it to be a problem with the gun. I spoke to a technician that services this pressure washer and he walked me through all the diagnostic steps. The pump is working because there is pressure being built up and the gun sort of works because you can get water out before the washer is started. The technician said that the mechanism inside the gun is either clogged or broken. I am going to Home Depot or Lowes to purchase a new gun and will try it tonight. Guns are only about $30-40. He said generic is fine as long as the thread matches and PSI is in range. Good luck!
