Had to clean caburator and Air intakte area of Engineering Oil before restart. remember to top up with Engineering Oil, if not- the Oil lever switch turn off ignition. Thanks for the good video that helped me some of the Way. Greetings from Denmark

Thanks for the advice! My brand new Simpson wouldn’t start. The air filter felt a little grimy so I left it off temporarily. The spark plug didn’t seem oily but I wiped it off anyway and reinstalled it. After a few cranks it, it started right up!

You where right on point!! Mine has a soaked filter and oil in the piston.

Man I bought this exact pressure washer a few months ago. I knew it had been tested so I wasn't too concerned. This shipping box had oil down the side inside of it. I knew it must have gotten roughed up a little but all was intact. I finally got my trailer built and plumbed up. Wouldn't start for anything. Went through all the normal reasons for not starting. But alas emptied the carb bowl and out comes the most golden honey brown "gas" and the slickest gas I've ever felt too. LOL. Got all the oil out and replaced the gas. BOOM. Fired right up. Thanks so much, this was gold.

Good video. I must be in the 5%. My new GX390 pulls easily as if there is no compression stroke. It ran well for the first ten minutes hesitated couple of times within about 10 seconds of each other. Then it died and wouldn't start. Someone suggested to disconnect the yellow oil sensor wire. That didn't work.

I have a Simpson that ran great when I got it last fall. This spring it didn't want to spray right, and I pumped the trigger a few times, and it started working just as I was ready to give up. The very next day it didn't want to spray again, and it started to spray like the day before and just then the engine died, and I have not been able to get it to run since. Knowing spark, fuel, air I checked all these things, three times over. Still have no idea what the problem is. For as much as this thing cost I would expect better than this.

My pressure washer tipped over in my shed over the winter and this is exactly I did to get it started. I also replaced the spark plug because it was saturated with oil, you can clean them but it's easier to put a new one in and you can eliminate any spark issues. One more thing if it's an older unit and this happens starting fluid is your friend.

Thank you! Just had a new pressure washer delivered and couldn’t figure out why it wouldn’t start. Your steps got it running smoothly. Thanks!!

I got one of these brand-new out-of-the-box with no valve stem seal on the exhaust so oil was going into the exhaust then after I fix that I found out the fuel shut off valve was bad and the float in the carburetor was allowing fuel to bypass into the air intake and flood the pistons then settle in the crankcase when not in use

Use a ratchet to take out carb cap plug. Wrench can easily strip that bolt.

Those are good points when we are transporting the Pressure washer from place to place. New units are not shipped with oil these days.

@nimble_assassin 2 жыл бұрын

They say they aren't shipped but I own a pressure washing company and every unit I've bought has a little oil in it when it gets to me. I'm guessing from testing and they don't drain it completely

I will be upgrading to a GX390 next year, but I currently have a GX270 and I need a new pump, what pump do you recommend with the most gpm possible?

@KyllerGaming Жыл бұрын

What if im not getting spark but the spark plug isnt wet with oil

@ktpowerwashing 2 жыл бұрын

Same concept for a key start? Turn key a few times vs. pulling rope?

@MannyAguilarJr 2 жыл бұрын

Yes you could but better to pull to save the starter some life.

On The bottom part of the unloader there’s a arrow and says in, it’s not 3/8. Can have a 90 from the pump and install unloader from the bottom for ease change when it’s time to replace the unloader?

@Spraywell 2 жыл бұрын

unloaders WITHOUT ez start don't have that ball at the bottom port and that port is an INLET where you can plumb it from your pump like you described.

Thanks a lot. This has been a big help. I have the same engine on my air compressor that ended up in a tilt position. Pulled the spark plug, Pulled the pull cord 20 time's, Restall the spark plug, it started right up. It smoked a little after start up, let ran for a few minutes , now good as new...Thanks

@Spraywell 2 жыл бұрын

Awesome. It'll smoke like no tomorrow once it starts but after 10 minutes it should stop smoking and be all good.
