The easiest way to remove the shroud is to remove the motor from the base entirely (there are 4 bolts to remove). After you've removed the base you can access the 6 torx screws (#15). The two back screws can't be removed with the engine still attached to the base unless you have a specialized tool, so removing the base is the best/quickest option.
Ideally there would be a simpler way to remove the shroud - like clips - since the pulse hose is a frequent replacement part given the design of the XC2600, which has it sitting and rubbing right against the base.
Anyway, it's pretty quick and painless to remove the base - good luck!
I am having the same issue. I need to remove the shroud so I can replace the pulse hose. Did you ever figure out how to do this?
SOURCE: Honda excell pressure washer does not have pressure
if the machine is running on suction, ie sucking out of a barrel there may be an air leak on the suction hose or pump. it will pull air easier than pulling water .
put the machine under mains water pressure, hose pipe straight from tap to pump.
check all around the pump and inlet pipes for leaks.
if water leaking this needs rectifiying for it to work on suction.
run the pressure washer while on mains pressure with the hose on, does this make a difference?
if not then probably the unloader is stuck in the pump head. remove unloader , clean and replace it
parts breakdowns are available on the internet for your machine.
possibly valves stuck, or the valve springs have broken, seen this quite few times on these machines. if so replace springs .
These sort of machines do not last very long anyway, about 50 hours use if your lucky.

I just changed the pulse hose on my XC and glued a larger piece of hose over the spot it rubs on so it should never rub through again. When I removed the engine, I tilted it up too high to high to access the 4 bolt mount nuts and had oil come out the carb into the air filter, so I would recommend draining the oil first. After it was all together, it fired right up then ran out of gas while spraying an 8' section of fence boards and now after refilling the tank, it won't start so I'm lost what is wrong and yes, I filled the engine with new oil (1/2 Qt) prior to starting and swapped the spark plug into my later model excell PW which fired right up, so any advice appreciated. Thanks
