Pressure Washer Pull Cord Won T Pull

This pressure washer had a stuck pull rope.

Pressure washer pull cord won t pull.

At times a pull start pressure washer can be very hard to start and when those times happen it can be very easy to break the pull cord. Someone gave me a briggs stratton pressure washer choke o matic carb when i tried to pull the cord it won t even come out it is stuck. If you cannot pull the starter rope out i recommend pulling the trigger on the wand first. If it does pull it a few times and see if there is any oil or gas blowing out of the spark plug hole.

If you tipped the pressure washer on its side recently oil may have filled the cylinder preventing the engine from spinning. Took a look at the pull rope assembly to see what was jammed or bent or broken. How do i get it lose. One however can be a frustrating one for machine owners.

Remove the spark plug and then pull the starter rope to see if the engine spins. If you can pull the rope the problem is in the pump. If the rope still will not come out the problem is likely in the engine. A pressure washer can be a unique piece of equipment for a variety of reasons.

If there is make sure the level is correct and not over filled. A stuck unloader in the pump would usually cause this. I assume you mean that it won t pull out all the way.
