Have now used this to clean house siding and it performed well kzfaq.infoUgkx43QMbQqu67IZadu9ou8Sg1BdrunMRNqX I also bought some wand extensions which enabled higher washing without needing a ladder. I recommend both. This unit arrived quickly, was easy to assemble (only had to attach the handle), and arrived in perfect condition. The only very slight downgrade from a perfect score is the design has a low handle and requires pulling from the side. My old washer was an upright model, while this one is more horizontal. Other than that, it's perfect for my needs. It has a great deal of pressure and more easily cleaned the house siding, porch rails and concrete than did my older model. The engine is a bit louder, as well, but the total time to clean was reduced by the more powerful spray. Did I mention it starts on the first or second pull every time?!! I am definitely happy with this model.

After the nain jet is removed take a small screw driver and in the throt of the carb push that brass jet down comes out the same place the main jet does there is little holes on it that like to plug up I've been a small engine mechanic for 20 years but I like watching videos because there is always somthing new to learn no matter how long you've been doing it I usually have to pull that little nozzle

I suggest a new one. Once they get a little carb cleaner they get all out of wack. A trick is to order a new cheap China carb and use the gaskets off it.

so to clean the carb on a honda lawn mower which way do you tilt the mower to get easier access to do this no removal carb cleaning? do you tilt it straight up or put on its side?

@MowerMike Ай бұрын

Always tilt it back pushing the handle to the ground. It will spill fuel or oil any other way. Just put a weight on the handle on the ground

@nyacoustics8373 Ай бұрын

@@MowerMike Thanks. I did that. While poking around i took off the carb and notices it basically missing all the gaskets and the one near the air filter is shot and deteriorated. Could that be causing the issue i have with a Honda mower that starts first pull but has an uneven idle where it goes up and down slightly. The seller i bought it from left it outdoors uncovered. not sure if what else i should be looking for to get her running smooth again.

I would tilt it back over and make sure it has the proper level of oil. See if it starts. If it doesn’t then clean out the carb. Having oil in the cylinder is no big deal what little is there will burn off

@@MowerMike thanks for the response, it definitely had oil in the carb & there was also oil in the "chamber" where the spark plug screws into.

Hate to be critical BUT after 7 years of sitting without engine having run, WHY wouldn't you remove the long jet, the pilot jet, and the seidment bowl and clean each of them as well. It would have taken all of about 5 more minutes and I'm betting they would have had been gummed up as well. I wouln't pay for this kind of supposed "carb clean"!!
