Hi
As some of you know I recently bought a new pressure washer and was not due to use for the first time until tomorrow.
It came with all oil in the machine so really all it should need is petrol.
I thought today I would get it out and clean my drive at home but could not get it started,
Its got a Honda GX200 engine any ideas on things to check ?

Thanks for any replies.

Just check fuel is turned on, and have u got a choke maybe give a little but not to much, does it have a lever to prime that needs opening.

On my machine, it has an automatic cut off switch if oil level isnt high enough.
Is this same with honda??
It might be worth checking oil level perhaps.

Cheers for ideas guys

The oil level is fine and its all toped up with fresh petrol.
Dont think its got a way of priming on the Honda engine.
Really ped off now as will have to re schedule the job.

All sorted now thanks to Terry at Jetmac

It was an air lock in the petrol line.

Thank you off to job with machine now

We need an updated picture on the "what have you cleaned today" thread.
Lol it feels like its been over run by aqua solutions (i think there called)

[Steve Lowe]

Sorry Nathan

Job all finished but didn't think of taking before and after photos (Will do next time)
Really pleased with the machine though as job came up great.
I run the machine from a bowser instead of the tap and you could see that had it been connected to the tap the flow would have not kept up.
