I want to thank you guys for the help you gave. I sure appreciate you spending your time to help me. Here's my last update: I put the carb back on without the butterfly air "flap" and the machine was able to pump out the power I needed. However, it still ran rough so I only used it for about...

Thanks for all the replies. Here is an update... I finally worked up the courage to take off the carb. It didn't take long to see someting odd. As soon as I removed the plastic air intake (below the air filter), as small flat peice of brass fell out. I wish I could have seen where it was...

Torque454, I tried starting the machine and had the choke at over half for 10-15 minutes with no change. I am going to clean the carb, but I'm not confident that will fix it. Can't hurt though... I'll update the result. Any suggestions on the best way to do this? I'm going to google search...

Thanks Torque454 for replying. I'll try your idea tomorrow. Now that I think of it I did have some minor problems starting the engine a few times this summer. It was after I ran out of gas and refilled it. Maybe some dirt got into the carb. Anyway, I'll see how it goes tomorrow. Thanks...

I would appreciate any advice you folks might have. I have looked at some current treads and don't see my exact problem, so here it is: When I start my machine it idles a little rough, but can stay running on its own fine. In fact when I'm not gunning it isn't obvious there is a problem (it...

Man... am I ever thankful I got your input. After I got my pump fixed I did loosen and tighten my handle (the one controlling psi), but I did it with the triggler pulled. I'll try it again tommorrow they way you said DAFF and see what happens. If that doesn't work I'll have to open it up...

Thanks I really appreciate all the advice. I was having a problem with both the nuts loosening and the bolt coming out, but once I threadlocked the nuts they stayed firm. So the next thing to do is use the helicoil. I was starting to freak... I can't thank you guys enough.

I had to change my muffler on my Honda 13 hp motor (GX 390), but not before the vibration ruined some threads in the engine block (ie. head). I tried putting in a new bolt and it held ok, so I changed my gasket and bolted on the new muffler. However, the muffler just won't stay on, either the...

My pressure washer (13 hp Honda engine, 3500 psi General pump) has been acting weird lately. I just had to get the seals redone in the pump and just before they broke I heard the engine sound different when it was supposed to "idling". If I remember correctly, my psi is supposed to drop down...

I just got a Jenny 200C as payment for a home pw. I didn't even think it was a pw until the old guy who gave it to me turned it on, it is almost an antique I'd say. It is a little jimmyrigged, as I think it must come from the 60's. It says on the machine that its a steam cleaner and hot water...

Hi all, is it ever good to finally find a site like this. I am a real pressure washing enthusiast, like to have fun with my business wherever I can and enjoy the hunt of finding new ways of using my equipment or better ways of doing things I already do. I have been in business for four...
