Try removing the spark plug first then pull the cord while spark plug is out. The cylinder may be full of petrol, preventing it from moving. Once the cylinder is free of liquid, you can reinsert the spark plug and try again to start it.

you are absolutely right on target. This is called 'hydro-locking, In fact many engines have been destroyed when a leaking fuel injector ,overnight, even partially fills a cylinder that is on compression stroke. With the higher cranking speeds today, It usually bends the connecting rod when the engine rotates 1/4 revolution s or more and 'hits' the in-compressible liquid. In your case, simply remove the spark plug, and pull the rope a few times to blow out the gasoline and then add a teaspoon of oil in the cylinder, pull the rope a few times to re-lubricate the cylinder. When there is no liquid coming out, reinstall the spark plug and it should be good to go. With carburetors, even a tiny speck of leaf or grass can cause the float valve to leak.

If the float is set too high or the needle is stuck or leaking fuel will overflow into the engine and leak past rings into crankcase.

You may need a new needle in your carb. or you can take your bowl out and clean it. It could be your bowl float is damaged very unlikely but I have seen it happen. My guess you need a new needle and seat.

Make sure that gas line , gas filter and air filters are clean .

The simoniz 1900 gun is very poorly designed. It is held together by a dozen small screws. First open the gun by taking all the small screws out. No worries, it is much more simpler and worse constructed than a 5-year-old toy gun. After opening the gun, you will see there are only two parts inside. One at the front connecting to the wand, and one at the back connecting to the hose. The trigger is looped over the joint part. Make sure the back part is firmly fitted into the slot properly, otherwise it leaks. And be careful don't lose the spring, because there is no object to hold it in place. Now all you need to do is to put all one dozen small screws back in. Don't over tight the screws, otherwise they will punch through the plastic cover. Now your simoniz 1900 gun is fixed but it leaves you wonder which 10-year-old designed it?

pull the bowl and clean out water and gunk from the main jet. Blow out all other jets and tubes.

check battery terminals for clean and tight. Check battery condition

If there is no water from you power washer it is because the is no water going in. Check fitting is connected properly. When you pull the trigger and the machine is not running you should get water coming out of the nozzle That shows that water from the tap is passing through the machine. As to no pressure that will be a fault in the regulator valve that is not reacting to the trigger setting and allowing the pump to build up pressure. It is still reading as if you haven't pulled the trigger

check for fuel flow blockages including a blocked needle and seat in the carby. Remove the carby bowl and main jet and blow out any obstructions including water.

My guess is there isn't one. To change the oil you must remove the oil cap/dipstick and actually tilt the machine on its side, and pour the used oil into a proper receptacle.

take the pump apart and free up and lube the valves inside

sounds like there is a valve hanging up inside the pump

Oil is a major factor affecting performance and service life. Use

4-stroke automotive detergent oil.

SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use.

Hope this helps

Thanks

At full throttle does it sound like the rpms are up enough? There is a good chance that the govener is not set properly.
