Project for a customer. He brought this in for service and asked
about why he was not able to see the oil in the window on the pump.
During the work-up on it, I found the pump portion to be nearly empty of
lub oil, usually the kiss of death for a piston pump of this type. The
other issue is that the engine compression is a bit below 60 PSI, too
low to operate.
I contacted the manufacture of the pressure
washer and was told to contact the pump manufacturer. Finally got a
response. I will now do a deeper dive into the issues with the engine
and pump. As with all jobs like this, I do not charge for basic
diagnosing of the problems and this unit may turn out to be too far
gone, but haven't given up yet, love a challange
