Honda 3000 Pressure washer turns off when the choke is in

Many people forget to shut down the "CHOKE" after a cold start up.

Check gas and oil. With water OFF, pull out choke on washer. Pull the start cord until it starts. Let run for about 20 seconds. Push in choke. Turn on water. Bleed wand line. Insert desired tip. You should be good to go now.

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.

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...

Sounds like it's flooded. Close the throttle and open the choke if equipped. Pull it through a few times and then open the throttle a bit.

Make sure that the choke link is intact, so when you push in the choke it actually does it. I hope this helps. Good Luck and have a great day.

Make sure the fuel valve is on. Generally that means pointing down inless there is a diagram on it.

Turn the switch on.

Pull the choke on the carbuerator on full. There will be a picture of a butterfly valve set it so that it is closed. Pull the cord till the engine fires. let it sputter for a second, then open the choke. If the engine dies right away, do all of the above again but once it fires, only open the choke half way. once it warms up a bit open the choke completely.

sounds like the choke is not operating properly

Not getting enough gas.. check gas filter.. Rust/Water
