Is the problem with the engine or the pump?
If it still runs it sounds like maybe it's the pump, if so good luck. The pump on ours tore up recently and I've been trying to find repair parts. All I can find are complete replacement pumps, and they cost nearly as much as a new pressure washer.

Just what I was going to say to if its the pump you are just about better off getting a new machine |

Danny, at first the engine was shutting off. I disconnected the water supply line and the engine ran fine. Played around with unloader and engine would run with supply line connected but I had no pressure at nozzle tip. Could be the unloader valve stuck or my second guess is the pump has gone bad.

I know this is far fetched but have you checked the hose for a blockage or the gun for a blockage?  KISS it start at the easy stuff and work back. I don't know enough about them other then the basics. With mine I wont have pressure if the tip is pulled out for it to draw from an external source such as a soap bucket. |

Also check the nozzle itself. I had this happen to me and there was trash in the tip, but if that does not work there is a pressure washing place off of Barrett Parkway, but I can't remember the name of them. They use to be at the bottom of the hill off of hwy 41 close to the Barrett pkwy-Hwy 41 intersection headed south on the right hand side. Maybe that will ring a bell for someone and they might remember their name.

Remember when they were down in a hold on Cobb Parkway. Are they now on the East or West side of 41 on Barrett Pkwy?

east side of 41. I wish I could remember the name of their company. They were not your run of the mill store. They catered to people that did this for a living. They were either off cobb place blvd. or barretts lake blvd.
