Engine manual for the Porter Cable pcv 2250 pressure washer

Hi Mike,
If you can identify the model of Honda engine on the washer, you can download the service manual from this webpage:

Hope this helps!

Go to Porter Cables website and see if they have an unloader valve rebuild kit.


Or try a site like this one.

Regular gas 87-89 octane works fine.

Regular 87-89 octane gas workes (unleaded)

Pumps use a 30-weight non-detergent pump oil. Don't use motor oil.

you will have to try the following start up purge up onece with just water then start the powerwasher if that does'nt give u pressure ther is gaskets inside the pumping sometimes 4 to 8 of them these might be to wore down to hold pressure if u can locate the pump and desemable it run it to ur local dealer tell u need new gaskets put into it

check the seals and o rings on the connections could be sucking air

This sounds like a heat transfer problem

You should check that the oil reservoir for the pump has oil in it. It sounds like it may be low. Also, if it is a gas model, the engine oil may be low.

Remember the pump oil reservoir should be only 1/3 to 1/2 full of non-detergent oil.

non return valve on syphon injector on high pressure outlet stuck or 'o' ring worn. remove barb should be a spring and ball bearing in there.
it may be that the spring has broken too.

new non return valves are available.
