That means the seals between the piston and crankcase are leaking allowing the water to enter the oil. You will need the model number of the pump itself to buy replacement parts. You can try www.pressure-washer-parts.com for most brand of parts. You can either buy just this seal (usually 3, one per piston) or a kit with the piston packing too. If there isn't too much water keep the oil changed.

Take the filter off the top of carburetor and clean with varsol. Squeeze all excess out before replacing. You could also add a couple drops of oil to the filter. let us know

Try adjusting the choke. If you are at an altitude above 1,000 feet or the temp is above normal, the choke setting could be the problem and may need to be set to provide a lean mixture under these conditions.

Try removing the spark plug then pulling the cord! If the cord pulls then you cycle the engine a couple of time to see if fuel is coming out of the spark plug hole! If no fuel present replace spark plug and try starting the engine. always have water running through your washer before you attemp to start!

did you check for spark,maybe a new spark plug but check for the spark. if not check coil or wire and boot

if you replaced the coil,check the wire and boot,check with meter for continuity.could be loose connection to spark plug

Recurring issues with honda engine no start. Engine was thought to be out of gas however engine was actually shut down by oil alert. Check/change oil to reset, or unplug wire from oil alert and check engine. Vacuum in fuel system due to faulty fuel cap. Loosen cap to allow air in tank. Water in fuel. Water will condense out of the fuel in fuel container and will be introduced into tank. Water is heavier than fuel and will enter carb bowl. Check engine fuel tank with flashlight for signs of water, remove fuel bowl (shut off fuel) and clean. Spark plug is rarely issue, however could be wet from too much choke. Good luck

Low water pressure from source is generally not a problem unless water hose to washer collapses when use. You only need to supply the pump just 3 to 5 gallons of water per minute. Easy to check. Just open water supply to hose and capture water flowing out of hose into 5 gallon bucket (capture water in bucket for 1 min., should pretty much fill it ). Just use as normal. Good luck

Hi, even though i am stating the obvious , please check that you have petrol/gas in it , the fuel tap is turned on and that there is oil in it ( it has a internal oil alert switch that stops the machine running if there is little or no oil in it and usually there shipped with no oil in them )and make sure the engine stop/run switch is set to run/on , if this fails then take it back to the shop and demand a refund/replacement .
Hope this helps , please rate accordingly

try taking off water hose an in that water in let spray wd 40 while it is running thats the best advice i can give you do it for like 2 minutes

there is a throttle lever
make sure the throttle lever is set to high

Pour a large amount of carb cleaner into the gas tank
With choke on full, pull cord often to work carb cleaner into carb and then let it sit for a day or four.
Your carb is dirty for sure.
The venturi and jets are so small on these carbs that they are easily clogged with gunk from old gas

pour liquid TSP into the fresh water port (where the garden hose connects) and let it sit there for a couple of days.
This will clean all the calcium and lime deposits within the pump.
This is how I fixed my pressure problem.Hope it works for you.

you may need a new by pass valve or take it apart and greased also check your nozzle can be oversize

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; ">With the engine turned off, pour liquid TSP into the fresh water inlet until it comes out the other end at first just water that is already within the pump will come out but make sure you put enough TSP that it starts to come out the wand outlet. Then, let it sit for 48 hours and don't run it at all. This is how I fixed my no pressure problem [email protected] owner of Honda 5.5 with Comet pressure washer pump</span>

some pumps have a side glass and oil should be half of side glass and depends on manufacture oil is different if general pump you can use 30w non detergent

These AXD pumps usually do not require a rebuilding process. What happens is the unloader / bypass valve gets stuck and you do not get any output pressure. What you can do is tip you pressure washer so that the input and output fittings are vertical and actually dump oil into the water supply hole. (3 oz at least) Slowly pull the recoil (ign off) and add a bit more oil and let it sit overnight. Then the next day once again pull the recoil through and let it sit another 10 minutes. Then connect all hoses (Purge the air in the garden hose) BEFORE connecting the main water supply and start the unit then running at MAX SPEED rapidly fan the wand trigger. What your doing is cycling the unloader valve. Do not do this for more than 2 minutes if the pressure does not suddenly start. IF the pressure builds continue at lease another 30 rapid cycles of the wand trigger.
I lost count on just how many pressure washers I have brought back to a good working service life by just doing the above. I do know it is a substantial number.
Give this a try before you go off on the need to rebuild the pump avenue.

Hi,
Often times in warm weather you may only need to have it half choked or you may not even need any choke...experiment to see how much you need to get it to start and run...
