I'll go pressure wash someone's stuff before I loan one out again! What most people don't know is if you leave the engine running without using the water it gets very hot then burns up the pump or the release valve will pop...this is a 13 horse honda with a 5k 5 gallon with a burned up pump!! 700$ pump...ugh. motors still good at least.I violated one of my own major rules. Never let anyone use your equipment. NEVER. I went to use the pressure washer after waiting for a week to get it back. It was dropped off when I was mowing and today I went to use it and you know. It is not a cheapo store bought model. I guess that is why they have repair shops. It is possible that it failed thru no one’s fault but why does it always seem to be this way.
Oh yea I see the light switch nut and the horn inner contact ring. Still not fooled because you laid it out on OD green canvas. Born at night but not last night. And did you say 5 gallon fuel tank on the Honda. Not seeing that.I'll go pressure wash someone's stuff before I loan one out again!

That's not od green canvass!! That's the table we used to paint the hood on..got sprayed too. The honda is a 5 gallon per minute 5k psi pump...I think the honda has a 3 gallon tank. That is a switch for a cucv too...took it out of the cab out back. That pump setup weighs just at 140 lbs. It's a big pressure washer.Oh yea I see the light switch nut and the horn inner contact ring. Still not fooled because you laid it out on OD green canvas. Born at night but not last night.

Dang, that's a nice one. I keep buying old ones and fixing them...use them for a bit and sell them and repeat. Are you gonna paint that army green or sand?I think this will get the job done. I wanted an electric one for a long time. View attachment 925161

If the 2 bolts that hold the reducer and input didn't break off inside the pump housing, I could have rebuilt it for under 50$.Pump is easy to rebuild a couple of youtube videos made it easy to do mine
