No problem as long as you protect them with a spray on oil before you use it again

i checked the briggs and stratton main website but i didnt find any thing any other thoughts

on the engine look at the base area look for a pipe plug or a knob
[thumb screw] or a square type plug unscrew it drain the oil replace and refill
the pump does not need oil it is lubricated by the water

I’ve looked at a few websites and see that I can get gas powered washers for upwards of $400 and also get small electric ones for as low as $80. I know that the huge difference seems to be the pressure that each puts out (PSI) but that’s all I know.

Can I get a compressor so I can say attach a paint sprayer, a tire inflator and then attach a head so I can pressure wash? Or do I have to get a compressor for paint and air and then a pressure washer as well? I’m mostly interested in the washing part but would be nice to have an all in one solution if that is even available?

Here is what I want to do…wash the cars, RV, kids bikes, driveway, vinyl siding on the house and basic yardwork type of chores.

Please help me figure out what to buy?

If it were me… I’d go to the local rental equipment shop and question the guy in charge of what he thinks. Why – because he would be the one very familiar with what you’d be looking for. As that’s what he rents, and is very knowledgeable about.

Hi, I just bought a gas powered pressure washer from a garage sale and I reckon I may have made a huge mistake….The engine works fantastic, but I can’t get the water to come out of the nozzle. Blackish water comes trickles out of the wand sometimes though. I took the hose off and blew through it so that works ok.

When I turn the motor off and take off the water hose, it seems to have lots of pressure in that area but not so much from the wand hose. Thanks for any advice!!

it may have froze or someone before you may have run the pump with out water that can hurt the pump also check for a clogged tip also I just had to clean mine. The smallest piece of dirt can clog them lots of luck

I have a small rooftop "deck" in Manhattan that is in serious need of cleaning. Being on the roof, though, I have no way of getting a hose up there, and if I tried, I’d probably be evicted. Are there any alternatives to spraying the deck with a pressure washer after using the deck cleaner? All of them seem very adamant about the "rinse with pressure washer" part. The deck is a 7′ x 7′ platform composed of 2 x 4’s and rises about 7" off the ground.

You could use buckets of water and a brush. Or, seriously, try to time the wash just before a rain. I have done this with cars and driveways. Its the perfect season for it. Use environmentally safe products though.
Excellent luck.
