For a 4-cycle monocylinder pressure washer, should I set it to 1 spark per revolution, or 0.5 sparks per revolution? Thanks

Pretty sure its 1 spark/rev. If it shows RPM over about 3600, you have it set wrong...

Once you find your desired spark plug firing pattern. Press and hold the S1 button for 4 seconds. The LCD will display 01 spark plug fires twice per revolution, 02 once per revolution, 03 every other revolution 04 hour only, will not display RPM. The default for the standard model is 02 one per revolution.

Environmentally minded people will tell you to use 50:1 ratio as specified in the manual. People more experienced with small engines will tell you to use 40:1 or even as low as 30:1 to make the engine last longer, but that will produce more stink and smoke.Ultimately if you are environmentally minded you should get a 4 cycle blower not a 2 cycle so it isn't intended to burn ANY oil during use. It will cost more and have a lower power to weight ratio which is why so many are still 2 cycle.

This item worked perfectly for me on my small appliance, however it only uses 25 watts of power. I would think that the washer/dryer would need more than 100 watts (which is the maximum for this transformer) not sure but that info should be with your washer. It is a great little item & mine still works fine. Also, you must be aware that this item is only be of value if your washer/dryer runs on European or Asian 240 volt electrical cycle & you need to convert/transform the power to 120 volt to make the appliance work.Good Luck!

I had a 3100 psi at 2.5 gallons per minute, and this attachment worked great, and the quarter inch quick connect it will fit which most pressure washers under 4000 psi are, so go for it it works great I haven't had to use any tips since I got this attachment,

My research indicates that washer psi and GPM are important factors when choosing tips. The color spread will determine the degrees of the tip such as red is zero degree, yellow is fifteen degrees, green twenty-five degrees. Google pressure washer tips to determine the orifice opening based on GPM and PSI of washer. For washers under two thousand PSI and under two GPM takes a 2.0 size orifice, two to three thousand PSI and two to three GPM a 3.0. If the orifice is too small, pump could be harmed, too big and would under perform.

The main difference is 2 stroke vs 4 stroke, I have the 4 stroke and don't see a reason to go to oil and gas 2 stroke again, this thing has lower noise, start on 1st or 2nd pull every time, no more oil mix to deal with. Really nice machine, plenty of power.

I was having trouble getting mine to start also. I pulled once or twice and then it would get REALLY hard to pull. I didn't realize this was caused by pressure building in the pump. I have since began starting the washer by simultaneously aiming the nozzle in a safe direction, squeezing the trigger to relieve the pressure, and pulling the cord. This may not be the safest method, but now it starts on the first pull and that pull is VERY easy.

I believes it is better suited for other applications. My experience, a lot more volatile chems and high Pressure washer on hot day is best for that issue! No expert, just my experienced!

Four. Three are for power washing. But I do warn you - mine jammed up and never once cranked. It looks like either you hit pay dirt or go into the vortex I am still in. It was a sad thing because I really wanted it and love Generac products. NOTE: Amazon will not take it back.

TO SET THE TACHOMETER (SPARK PLUG FIRING REVOLUTION):Press and hold the S1 button for 4 seconds. The LCD will display 01 (spark plug fires twice per revolution),02 (once per revolution), 03 (every other revolution), 04 (hour only, will not display RPM).Once you find your desired spark plug firing pattern, release the S1 button.The LCD will blink for 8 to 10 seconds and return to total hour meter mode.The default for the standard model is 02 (once per revolution).

The manual states a minimum psi to use which I believe is 1800psi. I use a electric 1600psi pressure washer and works just fine.

Use the honda recommended oil for the engine 10/30 fill until you can see it. Use pump 10/30 non detergent oil for cat pump but don't fill passed the bubble indicator. I ordered this pressure washer few months back, it's as good as the landa pressure washer I used to own. They both have the honda motor and cat pump the differance is I can load it by myself. I would have like a holster for the wand and a longer hose if I had to complain but those are easy fixes. But when I ordered it from amazon it had the motor and pump oil included. CBF

I'm using 30 weight oil. The unit is NOT a 2 stroke engine that burns a mix of oil and gas. The oil is for lubrication only.

If your pressure washer can not mix in the ratio required 4-1 I wouldn't use a pressure washer to apply it. Pressure wash FIRST then apply with a simple garden sprayer or trombone sprayer made by Hudson available here on Amazon.

Understand its a 3.5 orfice. Unlike high end turbo models that come in different orifice sizes to dial in its best performance. I suggest you find a "nozzle chart" before ordering to see if its even near what your pressure washer pushes. Too small orifice number for your unit will damage a pump,too high number orifice will not clean as well so its size does matter.

the tach counts every time there is a spark it calulates the rpm from that. this will work with a 4 stroke motor this is what we use it with. I dont know if it will work with a 2 stroke motor

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.
