Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Pressure Washer with no pressure, engine trouble shooting, pressure release valve


Question
I have a Karcher G 3000 OH pressure washer that does not have any pressure now.  I have used it twice, the third time it had no pressure.  Engine runs fine, appropriate water to engine. Trouble shooting suggestions offer no solutions.  Thanks in advance.

Answer
Hello Lawrence:

From your Description, it Sounds like the Pressure Release Valve has Stuck Open. Calcium is Usually the Cause for the Relief Valve to Stick. Usually Disassembling and Cleaning is Required and will Correct the Problem. You can View a Breakdown of this Unit at this Site Addy; http://www.pressureparts.com/OwnersManualsK1.aspx Now Scroll Down Until you See Resources on the Left of the Page. Now Select Pressure Washers Owners and Parts Manuals. Now Select your Model Pressure Washer. Hope this Helps. I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Let me Know What Happens, Please. Thanks.

Good Luck
