It sounds like the timing is not set right, probably too big of gap. Check the gap with a business card, it should be just that big of space. If that is correct, the the coil is getting hot and no longer functions like it should!

Yes mine also got really hot. The engine had a non-related issue and is not running now but I assume it will still get hot.

I ran it for 3 hours in 1 day. I have a 3100psi washer with a cat pump. So far, it has functioned flawlessly.

I run it off the power oulet and have never had any issues. Could be something wrong with the compressor. May want to exchange it for another one.

ull run out of the di media quicker, plus it wont be that effective. I ran into that problem. I got a 1.5 gpm electric pressure washer and it seems to last longer. and NOW its spotfree.

Check the spark plug gap and don't over prime it floods easily I would return it sounds like you got a bad one mine started no problem I primed until fuel was visible in the bubble then it turned on the 3rd pull amazon has the best return policy just let them know and they will make it right

I have a 2500 PSI washer and it worked fine so it should work fine at 2800. Rated up to 3300 PSI

Hi Joseph, my Lepa 1600W PSU failed on me after a few days of operation but, thank God, no components were damaged. I've read good things about this PSU so my problem was the exception rather than the rule. Just a WAG on my part but I imagine your experience will be better than mine; in any case, the most important thing to me is it didn't take out anything else when it failed.

Send it back. Had one that did the same thing , it was a burned out motor . Sounds like you still hxve a warranty.

One of your pumping pistons isn't re-extending for the next pump and so it's only pumping at half pressure.That's how mine died, I haven't figure out a fix yet.

Karcher power washer is junk used mine about 3 times and now will not work properly warranty is for 1 year after that you are screwed when I called for tech support and went thru the automated phone crap they asked if washer was more than 1 year old to press #4 i think when I did the call was dropped they hung up. I have had a Coleman Powermate for 10 or more years and it still works but wanted something with more power but Coleman is out of business and the Karcher sounded like a good deal but I was WRONG! buy a gas powered model made by Honda or at least one with a Honda motor install a gas shut off valve in fuel line use sta-bil in the gas and at end of season run the tank and carb dry Home depot sells a quart can of leaded gas pour it in run the motor for a while to make sure all of this crap gas they sell now is gone turn the shut of valve to the off position and run it till it stops and you should be fine if you can remove the carb bowl and pour out any gas in it. As the old saying goes you get what you pay for but in the case of Karcher look for something else. if the gas washer is to much work I have seen washer for as low as $99.00 at that price if it only lasts 5-6 times you are not out that much cash. when i finally found some one who knew Karchers explained my problem it did not take him long to tell me the faulty part was $65.00 plus shipping at that point I told him I am not spending that kind of money and then have something else go wrong and at 65.00 I am over half way to a cheap washer. I hope this helps

There are charts with price sizes versus PSI pressure. You need to know your pressure washer's output then look on a chart for the correct size.

This engine worked great when I installed it, but when I tried to use it after sitting for a few months, it'd start and run for 5 or so seconds and kill. Gas has aStabilizer in it but I haven't been able to figure out the problem as of yet.

like they say: ensure the chain brake is off, close to the handle. Ensure the engine cutoff is pulled all the way out. at least 6 prime pushes. choke all the way out, then 6 pulls. then choke halfway or all the way in, and one pull - boom it runs. I just started mine today after 3 years sitting unused. Put in fresh gas and it started right up, which impressed me a lot.

The majority of the pressure washer tips I've found all fit my washer with no problems, but your PW is 3100 PSI, and this is rated for up to 3000 PSI. It would work, but with the extra pressure it would probably just wear out a little bit faster than my 2700 PSI washer.

Mr. Sharp (below) is not wrong but I have ran one on low with the engine running but not for a very long time.
