More life and times of the mechanically uninclined...

Drain the carb bowl by removing it and check the float valve to make sure it’s not stuck.

Sounds like the dickfer valve may be stuck.

Did you check the henway?

That was gonna be my next suggestion. Sounds like a stuck henway…..did you smell it Bobby?

I had covid. All I smell is mechanical defeat

Put pressure washer where you don’t mind gas on the ground. Pull carburetor bowl off with the one bolt that’s on the bottom. Make sure the holes in the bolt you just took out are clean, I use a small wire or hook I have laying around. You should be able to get air through it. That’s what happens to mine all the time.

I’m in the check/add oil attempt. I had one do this and it was just a tad low but it was gonna have it until I added some.

Take off the breather and give it a quick shot of starting fluid. If you have a good spark, and we know you do 'cause you tested it with your "spark testers", it should start or at least try to start.

Go to Costco and buy a new one.

I wrestled with my Honda pressure washer just today. This here was the problem, little piece of junk got in, looked like rubber gasket that was cracked and in the bottom of my gas can as well. Still won’t run unless it’s on choke and won’t idle, but ran for an hour on choke with handle depressed.

Did you open the fuel valve ? Don’t ask how I know.

This was my first thought as well

I have had this drive me nuts before . Added a splash of oil and she fired right up .

This was me last week. Brand new pressure washer and even the little dipstick showed oil but just barely and it wouldn’t start. Took it back to northern tool and they called me today and said I owe $52 because it needed 3 ounces of oil….I hate all the little failsafes they put on crap!

I've done similar and due to me moving around, float stuck.

Order a new carb and replace it if u arent confident disecting it and inspecting the needle, float, and jets
