Man, you have got some very generous neighbors.

that surging the motor is doing, there is this tiny pin hole in the carb thats slightly plugged, its about 0.013 pin hole size. Theres a lil plug under the pilot jet to access it, makes all the difference when p.washing =)

I knew it would be cake for you lol. You can spray with the gun tip much closer on harder surfaces or bare metal. 2-6" is where we train our crews to keep the tip. You'll get wet, aim your ricochet... Tone down psi at the "unloader" for wood or painted surfaces. Spray too far away and you lose a lot of the psi goodness the Honda is pushing. Try a Turbo zero tip matching the gpm of the unit, amazing results... Detergent injectors are subjective. Get a hand pump sprayer for car soap and casually washing stuff. Soap at 3000psi makes an unnecessary mess if you're not careful. Park the machine so it doesn't get too wet and Pull the tiny yellow oil valve cap plug when using. The pumphead needs to vent at full rpm bc temperature changes and expansion of fluids and gases inside. Replace plug when storing or turning unit on its side, Or use a solid cap to retain pump oil. You can use SAE30 NONdetergent as pump oil, and Detergent added SAE30 for motor. Do not reverse the two. Change both oils often and the washer is alive for a long time. Beer after dinner made me type a little lazy. I apologize for the grammar. Nice repair!

I'm an absolute caveman when it comes to working on things and I really appreciate your channel. Thanks!

I have the same pressure washer and the original pump just broke today. Do you have a link to the new pump you installed or a similar one to it that would fit. Thanks :)

I had a 13 hp honda powered pressure washer that the pump did the same as yours... took it apart and the pistons had exploded. We have hard water and it rusts bad when not used. I use a pump conditioner now when im not going to use it for long periods of time.

please do more Firebird videos. I love your attention to details and I can't wait to see that car getting some love.

Love your videos!!!

I have an excell and the pump is not unloading. There are not any adjustments i can tell on pump. I might be going this route unfortunetly. Im definitely keeping it open as an option

Great video. I have an old Honda Pressurewave PWH 2500 with a broken pump which looks identical to the one that you took off. The only difference is that mine was mounted vertically below the engine. Could your replacement pump be mounted vertically?

In this "throwaway n get a new one" society, good to see there are still people like yourself fixing things.

repairing is awesome

Your style of narrating, editing and what you're repairing is why I subscribed. Good stuff man. Also congratulations on 100k subscribers, you're obviously doing something right.

Great video. Very helpful. My install went very smoothly. Thank you!

Very good ! You don't waste any time! Thank you!

Thank you, sir. You have saved me from agony.

great video for the exact PW that i have, thanks. if you are gonna spray vinyl i highly recommend getting a downstreaming kit and using some soap with lower pressure. it doesnt etch the vinyl and keeps mold away longer. they are easy to install and cost like 60 bucks

I have this same exact pressure washer. Its nice to know it can be fixed when the pump eventually fails!

The black hose underneath is an accumulator. These strap pumps don't run a typical unloader system, and so that hose is to capacitate the excess pressure when you release the wand. If that wasn't there, the sudden spike in pressure would be detrimental to the porcelain pistons, and since fluids don't compress, it would end up destroying things prematurely. I've thrown away dozens of those strap pumps, retro-fitting them to (most typically) a 3 piston axial wobbler pump (exactly like the himore you've fitted). Still not as good as a crank-opperated pump, but a much more economical option. The pistons seizing in their bores and fracturing is a common failure, as well as the straps breaking. Even when those pumps work correctly, they're sub-par. Their flow is "pulsy", causing the gun to sort of vibrate in your hand, causing fatigue, and makes your hands go numb after prolonged use. For the home-gamer, it's usually a non-issue. You're not washing down 10 cars a day with it, to care.

Great video. Excellent detail while maintaining pace... Much-appreciated, keep 'em coming!
