for best results the washer needs to be minimum 3000psi, but yours should give a desent wash, check your fsc make sure the nozzels are clean and they are not blocked, check you have no water coming from the little hole at the bottom of rotary or the seal.
!! if it can get dirty it can get clean !!

could well be, if water is coming from anywhere other than the nozzels you will not get the maximum performance from your fsc, strip it down check the seals if worn replace them,

Bin it and buy a mosmatic far superior than dual pumps rubbish!!

Sorry just dont like whirlaway far to expensive to run for what they are and what dual pumps charge for spares!

Just checked your washer spec 5hp seems very low to run a whirlaway

I sometimes run my whirlaway on my 13hp 3600psi honda and the results still suck.

I find turbo nozzle much better.

I used to have a gx200, I wouldn't have even considered running a whirlaway off that
