Seized pump & conditioner

Hello all, I’ve stumbled upon this site with hopes you might be able to help out a dumb homeowner. I have a Homelite pressure washer that I’ve stored in my she each winter. I fired it up yesterday for the first time this season and it would seem the pump is ceased. In reading some info online, it seems there is a need to use a pw conditioner when storing, in order to avoid this very thing. I had no idea of the need, regrettably. I did come across a pw conditioner by Briggs and Stratton. What I’m wondering is, would this product perhaps uncease the pump as well? Thanks in advance.

Probably not. Especially if it ever got below freezing

You know anybody with a flux capacitor?

What makes you believe the pump is seized?

Instock…Nope, I don’t know of anyone with a flux capacitor, though at this point I do wish I could go back in time to properly prepare the pressure washer for storage.

Marine grunt…I assumed it was seized because the engine runs fine but I could get no pressure. After having done some research online, I’m holding out some slim hope that perhaps the uploader valve is just jammed. I’m going to pop that off when I get a moment and see if this Hail Mary pass works. If it does, you can bet I’ll be sure to store this machine properly moving forward!
