Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Craftsman pressure washer stalls under load, craftsman model, air mixture


Question
Dear John:

I have a Craftsman Model 580.752601 pressure washer.  It starts fine and runs
until I pull the trigger on the wand.  At that point it stalls out immediately.  What  
do you think the problem might be?  ANy help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer
Hello Jim:

Usually this is Caused by the Carburetor Air Mixture Out of Adjustment or the Carburetor is Dirty. This Engine has Been Discontinued by Sears. However, if you 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. The Model Numbers May be Stamped Into the Blower Housing (metal engine cover) Above the Spark Plug. If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Thanks.

Good Luck

Respectfully

John
