Question
it is a pressure washer made by troy built and the only time it will start is if you poor gas into the carb directly and then it will run till that gas runs out of course we have tried changing the gas line tank and cleaning the carb but it still wont run

Answer
Hello Nicholas:

Send me the Model and Type or Spec Numbers Off the Engine, Please. With these I can Locate the Proper Manual and Better Assist you. Did you Soak the Carburetor Overnight in Carburetor Cleaner? If No, then the Carburetor Internal Passages can Still be Restricted by Varnish. Does this Carburetor have the Carburetor Solenoid? Thanks.
