Craftsman pressure washer model 580.752011
Engine runs rough while no water is flowing through nozzle. Tried to adjust pump adjustment spring with no success. To set that spring is it done by engine rpm or exact measurement? Second it appears that the problem is on the dump side of the pump since no water ever exit’s the pump through the dump valve while not flowing water. What is the problem? While flowing water through nozzle engine rpm and power is normal however once you stop flowing water engine runs rough.

Craftsman 580. 752441 3400 PSI 2. 8 GPM 4 Cycle Gas Pressure Washer.
Description: Chevron Supreme SAE 5W30 motor oil is ideal for use in pressure washers that use four-stroke gasoline engines.
SAE 10W-30 or SAE 10W-40 are oils that are useful in both hot summer and cold winter days. For example, if you are looking to use your pressure washer and the temperatures are about 40 degrees (F) or less, SAE 10W-30 will be your failsafe option. Anything about 40 degrees, it can still be your best option.
Pressure washers are generally powered by gasoline engines, diesel engines, propane fired engines, or electric motors. Force created by the power plant turns the pressure pump, which in turn moves the water.
At Briggs & Stratton, our 4-cycle engines are the world leader for production and quality. This is due to the 4-stroke overhead valve engine system. It maximizes the power by your Briggs & Stratton engine to increase performance for your lawn mower or other outdoor power equipment.
Today Craftsman is a very well-known brand and has been rated the No. 1 brand among all American brands in previous years. Their main selling point is value for money. Where you might pay $700 for a Honda pressure washer you can get the same spec Craftsman for half the price.

Craftsman Pressure washer will not spray
ANSWER : Your not missing anything, check the pump, they tend to go bad over time and may need replacing. The pump provides the pressure as well as the suction for the whole process, pulling water from the hose or tank and pushing it forcefully through the pressure washer line. If the motor is running and you have the water going through the line and to the pump, and no water is coming out, my guess would be the pump.

Kranzle electric washer will not suck up soap
ANSWER : Hi, if it has a chemical injector on the machine then the pressure at the lance will have to be lowered for it to pull in soap. it works on a similar principle to how carburetors on cars pull in fuel, bernouli principle. high pressure at one side of an orifice going to low pressure at the other side which causes a negative pressure ( vacuum) which should pull in the soap. there should be a non return valve at the orifice (hole) which prevents the water back feeding into the soap container, it is quite common for this valve to get stuck, it is just a ball, spring and o ring , and the ball sticks to the o ring. if it is this system then take the soap pick up pipe off the injector and just push the ball off it’s seat with a bit of wire.If it is a high pressure soap system then that is different, but they usually work with an injector in my experience.try taking the high pressure hose off the front off the machine and running it, if it has an injector on it it should pull in plenty off soap.hope this helps ,andy

Engine will not run with out choke being puh in
ANSWER : You will need to remove the carburetor and clean. Be sure to clean the high speed jet. This jet is the bolt that holds the fuel bowl on. Remove and clean the small holes in the sides of bolt. You will need a small piece of wire or bread tie just remove the outer covering and run this through the holes. Some have a hole in the bottom and smaller hole in the threads towards the top. Clean with carburetor cleaner and blow with compressed air. Try cleaning the jet first and if this doesn’t work then clean and rebuild entire carb. Hope this helps.
