My name is Bre. I took two years of small engine repair at the local college. When I left school, I fell into a wonderful job at a local small engine shop where I worked the counter for a couple years. In 2010 my husband and I opened up our own small engine shop in central Arkansas where I am able to work alongside my family and best friends. We saw over 2,000 pieces of small engine equipment every year, and answer 1,000's of small engine questions. We specialize in brands such as Briggs and Stratton, Kohler, Echo and Shindaiwa, but work everyday on MANY other brands like Stihl, Husqvarna, Honda, Craftsman, Remington, Red Max, Troy Bilt, Scag, Bad Boy, Hustler, World Lawn, Poulan, Mantis, Etc.. Hopefully, my experience I share, will save you Time, Money and Frustration in the future!

When you’re done using your washer remove the hoses & with the kill switch in the off position pull the cord 3 or 4 times, that will expel all the water left in the pump. Good luck to Ron.🙏🏻

Prayers for Ron, the family and his medical team!

I just bought a Simoniz gas pressure washer for $30 from a guy who said the motor ran fine but the pump didn't work - water shoot out the nozzle. In the video, you mentioned checking that the hose wasn't plugged. I went right out, removed the hose, started the pressure washer and sure enough, the pump spurted water just fine. There was a slimy gel blocking one hose connection that I cleaned out with a small screwdriver. (I think the gunk might be congealed soap since the soap dispenser was plugged in.)
It's odd that soap could stop that much pressure, but there you go! Thanks for the tip!

Prayers for Ron.
The secret to recovery is doing the exercises. Talking from experience. I have had both hips replaced. Tell him to take advice or painkillers about 30 minutes before therapy. That way he can do the therapy easier. Good luck🎉

As one who has spent my career as a carpenter, I love you for talking about your screwups. Those screwups are what made me a great carpenter, and furniture maker. I love your channel!

Hi Bre,

Love the fact that you admit not knowing things when tackling a job for the first time, a place almost all of us have experienced at one time or many times. Hope you feel well soon Ron.

I replaced my original pump after three years of pretty heavy use for a homeowner unit. I literally had to cut the pump off of the shaft with a grinder and Sawzall in order to remove it. The shaft had rusted, and the steel and aluminum had created an inseparable bond. When I put the new pump on, I coated the shaft with anti seize, because I knew that someday I will be doing it again. (Chinesium!)😂 Mine has a Honda engine on it that will outlast several pumps, I’m sure!
It’s been about four years since the replacement, and it’s now starting to intermittently have pauses of low pressure before the full pressure finally kicks in. I should probably find a pump on sale and put it on the shelf for the inevitable demise when I most need it!

Love your channel. You’ve saved me lots of time, money and frustration! Prayers for Ron's speedy recovery.

[MickeyKamer]

Prayers for Ron and you, May he recover quickly and may the procedure be successful!

I've had a PW that's 20+ years old. Still works great. First repair was simple - o rings were leaking. Easy peesy. Had the harbor freight o-ring kit assortment and that took care of it. A few years ago it just peed like you were showing. Turns out the ball and spring that control soap and high pressure modes was stuck in the pump. clue was you could see drops of water moving in the soap line as was trying to suck liquid. Took out plug and cleaned schmoo (old hardened soap and crap) out and it worked fine afterwards. There's no filter on the soap line so whatever you use to hold soap needs to be clean or it will gum up that valve. When you're done, if you run some clean water thru that line/soap reservoir and work the valve to make sure there's no remaining soap in there you can avoid that issue. A friend had an issue with his PW. No pressure. Dummy had lost all his tips and was wondering why no pressure with the soap nozzle that was in the wand. Yup, that happens.
Godspeed Ron.
