Hi everybody I bought a second hand power flite and using in the house today I noticed as soon as u turn on the pump the water comes out straight away without pulling the trigger... I'm fairly new so I am not sure at all... I was wondering if any of u had any ideas?
Thanks danny

The trigger valve is stuck open, the spring is not pushing the plunger closed, undo the nut where the pin projects out and give it all a clean.
Can you try it with a different tool?

Hi do u have a more detailed description of what nut I should undo? Is it on the end where the male and female connect or actually up near the trigger??
Thanks sorry for being an idiot.. 😊

Click on this link, look at the valve, it's the nut with the silver pin sticking out of it

If the machine and tools haven't been used for some time then the o rings tend to go brittle allowing water past. Be worth getting repair kits and changing them over. You have to identify what type first though.

My hand tool went permanently on yesterday.
Of with trigger, unscrew nut and spring came out in 2 bits.
New spring in and away again..about 5 minutes work, took longer to get the tools for the job from van.

Impossible done straight away, miracles can take a little longer.

Thanks everybody I took the nut out and cleaned it all but with no success... I know it's hard to tell but would u try the repair kit first or just buy a whole new angle valve... Thanks Danny
