<h2>Coleman pressure washer- Anybody have non-working one? I need a pump part?</h2>
<p>Coleman no longer makes <strong>pressure</strong> washers. I broke a very small part off my pump. Before you send your broken <strong>washer</strong> to the dump, I would be happy to buy just this piece I need or your entire non-working <strong>pressure</strong> <strong>washer</strong> if you are close to SF Bay area. Mine is the 4hp model but I believe all the pumps were the same. I erred in my original post. The part I need is for the water distribution manifold (adjusting screw) and not the pump. The pump works fine and there is no mfg name on it so it must be proprietary.</p>
</p></div>
</p></div>
<div class="answer">
<h3>portablepowerwasher.net answers:</h3>
<p class="dtm-content">The pump was NOT made by Coleman. There should be a manufacturers name on the pump. Contact Coleman and see if they can give you the name of the manufacturer of the water distributation manifold.</p>

<h2>what happens if i put to much oil in my power washer.?</h2>
<p>I may have put to much oil in my <strong>power</strong> <strong>washer</strong>. Is it ruined now? I can&#39;t get it to start again, but haven&#39;t tried to hard, wanted to see if I should be doing something first to clean up any excess oil. Yes, it is very probable that is has a drain plug&#8230; There still lies a question tho&#8230;.. Is there something I should do to clean up excess oil? Would draining the oil, fix the problem? Or have I already ruined the machine? NOTE: The air filter did have oil in it.</p>

<div class="answer">
<h3>portablepowerwasher.net answers:</h3>
<p class="dtm-content">Take oil out of drain hole. Wipe off the oil stick. Put plug back in and put oil in. Pull rope 3-4 times, might have to pump. If it has a rubber pump push 4 times. Not start push 3 more times. Put in new spark plug. Will smoke for awhile.</p>

<h2>Lots of gas in the oil resevior of Honda power washer???</h2>
<p>I have a <strong>power</strong> <strong>washer</strong> with an 11hp honda OHV motor that recently broke down. It would run for a few seconds and blow a ton of smoke then stall. It wouldnt start again for about an hour and the same thing would happen. I started working on it and found that oil was coming out of the crankase breather hose back into the airbox&#8230;lots of oil. When I drained the oil I realized that there was a ton of gas in the oil..seemed like it was 40% gas. Any ideas how gas could be getting into the oil resevoir? Thanks!</p>
</p></div>
</p></div>
<div class="answer">
<h3>portablepowerwasher.net answers:</h3>
<p class="dtm-content">Youre lucky you didnt blow the motor up. When gas overflows the carb and finds it way into the oil &#8211; it thins it out enough to where the oil wont lubricate anymore and ruin the berings. The gas is overflowing the float bowl &#8211; number of things causing this? Dirty carb, bad float. Id remove and clean the carb thouroughly &#8211; all the lil pinholes &#8211; everything. Check to see if the float has been saturated with gas ( due to a pinhole- it happens) . The fuel needle seat could have dirt in it. The reason why it pushed it all out thru the breather is it didnt have anywhere else to go , when it overflowed it overfilled the oil and spit it out thru the breather.</p>

<h2>What good is a surface cleaner for a pressure washer?</h2>
<p>So I am new to <strong>pressure</strong> washing and I had some questions! I have seen a thing called a surface cleaner and it looks like it does the same work a <strong>pressure</strong> <strong>washer</strong> does but just easier and faster! Will you explain the difference between normal <strong>pressure</strong> washing and a surface cleaner?</p>
</p></div>
</p></div>
<div class="answer">
<h3>portablepowerwasher.net answers:</h3>
<p class="dtm-content">When you say &quot;surface cleaner&quot;, I assume you&#39;re referring to a device that hooks up to a garden hose, not a chemical treatment. A surface cleaner can only deliver water at your water line&#39;s pressure. This should be between 40 and 80 psi (pounds per square inch). A pressure washer has an internal, electrically operated motor and pump which delivers water at around 10 atmospheres (1500 psi). A pressure washer will clean grime off that a &quot;surface cleaner&quot; won&#39;t. If all you have to clean is superficial dirt and debris, a surface cleaner should work just fine. If however, you have embedded dirt debris, or moss, a pressure washer is what you need. NOTE: Be careful what you use a pressure washer on. It can damage some surfaces and remove paint.</p>

<h2>Would a pressure washer&#39;s pull cord not come out completely if it was low on oil?</h2>
<p>I&#39;m trying to fix my cousin&#39;s <strong>pressure</strong> <strong>washer</strong> and the only thing I noticed that could be wrong is the oil was low. It stopped working when she was <strong>pressure</strong> washing her deck. I just want to make sure before I go add new oil and have it turn out there&#39;s a non related engine problem or something. I checked the air filter and it&#39;s clean, the spark plug was connected properly, the gas is all new, and it didn&#39;t sit out in the cold so nothing froze inside.</p>

<h2>Craftsman pressure washer will not start?</h2>
<p>I have a practically new craftsman <strong>pressure</strong> <strong>washer</strong> (briggs and Stratton motor) that will not start. The gas is fresh and I get a shock when I touch the spark plug wire and ground it.</p>
</p></div>
</p></div>
<div class="answer">
<h3>portablepowerwasher.net answers:</h3>
<p class="dtm-content">Does it have a valve to shut the gas off? If so, make sure it is open so the gas will flow through from the tank to the carb. You may need to take it to your local Sears store and see what is going on with it. If you let it set for a long time with gas still in the tank you may have to take the carb off and tear it down and give it a good cleaning. Gas today isn&#39;t like the old gas used to be. If it sets for very long it will gum up a carb quickly. Need to either drain all the gas out or add an additive to it if you intend to let it set for long periods of time without use. Putting new fuel in with old fuel will not work if it is gummed up inside the carb.</p>

<h3>portablepowerwasher.net answers:</h3>
<p class="dtm-content">You need to pump the heating coil full of a mild acid solution and let it work over night. I would recommend either vinegar or citric acid &#8211; Muratic acid will be faster ( about 1 hour soak time ) but only use it if you are certain the coil is made of stainless steel tubing, if the coils are not stainless steel it can corrode them &#8211; the milder acids will not do so.</p>

<p class="dtm-content">It pushes a lot of water through a tiny hole, which has a lot of pressure, so the water comes out with a lot of force (i.e. Power). So you can blast dirt off. It cleans without the use of chemicals, and doesn&#39;t take a lot f energy or strength to run.</p>

<p class="dtm-content">A hose with a hand controlled sprayer and a bucket of water and car wash soap , a long with a brush and a few towels set aside and some music , the best . A high pressure wash , are you serious , this will only knock off film and not to much dirt. Turn it up or change the valves and your gonna start peeling off paint.</p>

<h2>pressure washer why not use a stop end on the hose.?</h2>
<p>I have just got a new <strong>pressure</strong> <strong>washer</strong> but the instructions say that you should not use a stop end on the water feed, why does this cause a problem as the connection opens the stop end so it is free flowing</p>
</p></div>
</p></div>
<div class="answer">
<h3>portablepowerwasher.net answers:</h3>
<p class="dtm-content">You need the volume of water within the hose and sometimes the machine can draw if off where the stop end can cause the machine to lose water supply enough for it to &quot;bunny hop&quot;, although infrequent. Try kinking and straightening the hose quickly a few times and you get the same result. That&#39;s why you should have a certain length of hose reeled out as well, so theres enough water volume for the pressure water to draw on.</p>

<h2>I&#39;d like suggestions for cleaning my brick patio after I&#39;ve removed the mud wasp nests?</h2>
<p>The mud nests leave a muddy residue once removed (by putty knife or <strong>power</strong> <strong>washer</strong>), and when applied, the garden <strong>hose</strong> or <strong>power</strong> <strong>washer</strong> just don&#39;t erase the residue. It looks messy and unkempt. I&#39;ve thought about a scrub brush and bleach/water mixture, but wanted to see if anyone had any other ideas.</p>
</p></div>
</p></div>

<p class="dtm-content">A little bleach and water, a lot of elbow grease and it will be gone. Been there and done that. Let the solution set for 10 minutes. I did not have the patience. If I had , things would have been much better. Good Luck.</p>

<h2>How to run electric power washer off a 5 gal bucket of water?</h2>
<p>I have a electric powerwasher. Is it possible to feed it water from a tank such as a 5 gal bucket? I won&#39;t need a lot of water. Just a blast or two. How can i fit something on the bottom of the bucket so it accepts a garden <strong>hose</strong>? Are there any adapters out there? If not, would drilling a hole on the bottom and sticking a <strong>hose</strong> up in and sealing the edge with waterproof caulking or something work? If the bucket is held higher than the pressure <strong>washer</strong>, will gravity be enough to feed it? If i buy an adapter that will screw into the bucket, what kind of adapter for a garden <strong>hose</strong>? And how will it not leak without some sort of caulking?</p>
</p></div>
</p></div>
<div class="answer">
<h3>portablepowerwasher.net answers:</h3>
<p class="dtm-content">Might work. Best chance for success is using adapters, not caulking. Adapters are available at home improvement stores so you can connect ordinary garden hose. Drill a hole in bucket. You may then be able to just screw in the hose adapter with maybe only a washer. Maybe can get a faucet with on/off handle. Convenient when disconnecting. Hang it as high as possible because it will increase water pressure. Hang it high up on a tree if possible, using rope. Do only very short blasts.</p>

<h2>How to clean exterior of home before painting?</h2>
<p>I need to clean the exterior surfaces of my home before I repaint them. Should I just spray them with the <strong>hose</strong>, or use a <strong>power</strong> <strong>washer</strong>? There is some very light mold in some spots.</p>
</p></div>
</p></div>
<div class="answer">
<h3>portablepowerwasher.net answers:</h3>
<p class="dtm-content">On the moldy areas, you should use some bleach and water applied with a scrub brush and scrub the mold off. Rinse well. If you don&#39;t have mold issues elsewhere, a good washing down with a hose with some decent water pressure will work. But if you have heavy soil/dirt, more mold, peeling paint, a pressure washer properly used will save you a lot of work. Let the house dry for a couple of days before you start scraping, caulking, primering and painting.</p>

<h2>Power washer not working properly.?</h2>
<p>I recently bought a <strong>power</strong> <strong>washer</strong>. I tried it out the day i bought it and it was working fine. I pulled it yesturday after being stored for 2 days and it is not working properly. It starts good and seem to be runing normal. it has 2 setting low presure and high presure. When I run it in low presure water comes out good but when i put it in high presure there is not much water coming out. I get more presure from the <strong>hose</strong> itself then when im running the <strong>power</strong> <strong>washer</strong> on high presure. Any ideas what could be wrong?</p>

Make sure there is a fresh fuse in the machine&#8230;if not take it out and replace it at an auto parts store. Make sure the hose is not bent anywhere or folded anywhere, cutting off the pressure. Make sure it has gas&#8230;. If that doens&#39;t work, then not sure man</p>

<p class="dtm-content">It depends on what type power washer you buy. In fact , you are both right. The smaller power washers , under 2000w , tend to run with a running water plugged into the side of it . However , the larger , more industrial power washers , usually the ones you rent , basically suck the water out of a large container ( or a barrel is what i use ) beside it. Note though : If you a sucking the water out of a barrel , make sure to have a hose feed into the barrell, because those large washers use a lot of water.</p>
