Question
GX 200 Honda 6.5 electronic ignition Pressure washer.
David,
My pressure washer starts right up and runs fine for about 2 minutes.  Pressure is great and engine runs smooth for the 2 minutes and it shuts off as if someone hit the off switch.  I've replace the uploader valve with no change in operations.  Can you help?  Oil is full in pump and motor (change both). After it sits for a minute the engine starts right up and the pressure washer works fine for about a minute before shutting down again.

Answer
Mark,

If your looking at the engine with the RECOIL facing you, on the lower Right hand side of the engine, coming out of the engine is a YELLOW wire ---DISCONNECT this wire and try your pressure washer,  Please let me know what happens.  I am assuming you have a bad low oil switch based on the symptoms you are describing.
