So i have the Briggs & Stratton Powerflow pressure washer and the pump wont syphon abd the powerflow wont work either. I cleaned the syphon inlet already.
The high pressure still works and my rotator had been working but wasnt on my last job. Itd spin a little but not anywhere near where it should.
Make a 50/50 mix of gas and diesel and fill the gas tank. You just need the inner slap rods to be lubricated by the diesel. Run it about 20 minutes without pulling the trigger and you should be good to go
I pressure wash now and then for extra cash. What do you suggest? Ive used bleach in my syphon but rarely and flush it after. Ive used it probably less than 30 times altogether.
For your own driveway or house once a year, buy a better machine.
Briggs and Stratton are junk in general in my opinion, but even worse when they come out with something gimmicky like the “Powerflow”. It’ll probably cost you the same to fix it as it does to just buy another one.
It’s called cognitive dissonance. You don’t want to have spent money and felt good about it only to realize later you made a mistake. Consider it tuition.
I’d go through 10 Hondas before ever considering a Briggs and then I’d go through 10 Briggs in the span of 1 Honda. Just being honest man. Not a good machine to make money with.
Not disagreeing with you. I just heard they were good so thats what i went with. My next one wont be one. I just want to know if the advice above can help me out till i get a better one.
I wasnt sure. Im no expert on this stuff. I googled it and others seemed to know of similar methods although not at that ratio. Glad i didn’t try it lol
