Pressure Washer Pull Cord Won T Pull

This pressure washer had a stuck pull rope.

Pressure washer pull cord won t pull.

If the starter rope won t budge when you try to pull it the engine may be locked up or the recoil starter may have failed. Took a look at the pull rope assembly to see what was jammed or bent or broken. If the rope still will not come out the problem is likely in the engine. I am sorry you are having a problem with the pressure washer.

A pressure washer can be a unique piece of equipment for a variety of reasons. How do i get it lose. One however can be a frustrating one for machine owners. 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.

If it does pull it a few times and see if there is any oil or gas blowing out of the spark plug hole. 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. A stuck unloader in the pump would usually cause this. If you cannot pull the starter rope out i recommend pulling the trigger on the wand first.

If that s the case remove the spark plug and see if it will pull all the way out as it should. If you can pull the rope the problem is in the pump. I assume you mean that it won t pull out all the way.
