pressure washer problem today
« on: July 21, 2014, 09:09:43 pm »
using my washer from  qwashers today. Machine is GX390 21lpm. Anyways all going fine then  every so often as if the engine is revving up. With last washer when ye heard this type of noise it normally meant the feed hose had  been poking out water or tank had drained. also hose was pulsing n vibrating right all the way to the gun. I checked for leaks and water level in tank but all ok. ??? ???

Is the inlet filter partially blocked?

There may be a mesh filter actually on the pump too,..

Oil levels all ok. Strange one this. All usual suspects looked at.
