Raise your budget. Borrow $20k, get what you need, pay it off in 6 months, never look back.

I had an older Karcher hot water machine that had a built in unloader. I contacted Rex at pressure washer products. He told me how to drill and tap a hole inside the unloader and plug it with a small hex plug. It was only like an 1/8" plug. I also took out some guts. Added a new unloader on block and worked like a charm. They guy is a pump genius. This unit was like 28 years old and he knew exactly what pump it had and exactly how it all worked.

The fleet washing academy needs to invite you to Florida next month to be a speaker @dperez
I’d actually attend that seminar lol.

I only “speak” between the hours of 5p and 6a so it would never work lol

The countersunk may be similar to what dperez said about just being another configuration, but of the ez sfart valve.

Which part number is the unloader valve i’d need to take out in the picture above? 23? 25? @Redjess @Crystal-Clean

The whole 20-26 piece
Replace with a male threaded QC. Make sure and plug the injector @cclean.

Guys, there’s a really simple, obvious solution to all this, and he won’t have to spend a dime. I should know, went through this when I first started.

Be sure to hit the trigger every minute. Make money, upgrade your machine.

Id just gut that stock unloader and make it as less restrictive as possible, then add new unloader.

Update Hey yal I’ve been busy moving across state but I got the new underloader fit on and looks good so far. Attached the new ds injector & gauge on it too. Just haven’t been able to plug that hole in from previous injector so water is leaking pretty heavy. Cant find the brass plug for it :disappointed:.

3 hours and 43 minutes. That’s my guess before that hot mess snaps off the side of the pump. You can’t set the unloader if the injector hole is leaking.

@Innocentbystander is right that is to much weight to be hanging on the side. Run a short whip line from the unloader to the injector so it’s not hanging there. Better yet run a whip line from the pump to a unloader block. And get rid of that guage as soon as you set your unloader. You can get the brass plug at home depot or Lowe’s.
@cclean where did you move to?
