After only half a dozen uses, my Briggs & Stratton electric pressure washer won't deliver high pressure water. The water is on and flowing through the wand, and the pump motor comes on when the switch is activated, but the water never seems to enter the pump. It continues to exit the wand as though the pump had never been turned on. Mystified.
Sounds like you have a blockage maybe in your water hose ,ideally your water hose should be around 25 feet..or you may have an o ring in the gun where the tip goes.. is broken..that will affect your pressure..check also filter where water hose connects to the pump make sure thats clear
SOURCE: Briggs and Stratton pressure washer will not spray
The nozzle on the end of the spray wand has a very small hole in it that can be easily clogged by any sort of debris that comes through the water supply.If the nozzle can be removed, just take a pin & clear the hole from the outside & rinse it off. If the nozzle can't be removed, then take the wand apart at the connector in the middle and do the same thing.

Ican see im going to have to wright this whole thing again . This sight is not good for people like me who know the answers . Something always pops up and loose my well thought massage . like the one i just wrote to you . Briggs olny makes the engine on your mechine you have 3 to 4 differant other companys that make all of the other parts this makes it diffelculy for anybody to get parts for the mechine . But there can olny be two things wrong with this mechine . The first is you have a problem with the valves on the pump body . Do you see brass caps on the valve body remove them one at a time . Check the valve you can remove them with a small pair of niddle noise pilliers look at the plastic cages around the valves they tend to break and jam the valve seats it olny takes one to cause this condution you describe . The other thing it could be is the unloader valve is stuck . This is the part under the pressure control knob and you will need to remove it . What it dose is allow the presserized water to recurlicate back through the pump body when the trigger is not open . This could also cause this condution . Most of the time it can be freed up with some WD40 and most are not servicable as a unit and lots of luck trying to find one .But the chances are good you can free it . In the winter time you should put antifreeze in the mechine disconnect the plug wire pull the cord until it comes out the other side this will protect it from the water freezeing and expanding and damageing parts aswell as corroition . Well good luck from what you descriped the valves but you should also turn that pressure knob in and out on a regular baicis to keep it free

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
