Looking for general information on how to clean a carburetor on a pressure washer? You've come to the right place! Here we'll discuss everything you need...
Before you start any work with the pressure washer, make sure it's no longer connected to a water source. In case of external connection, disconnect the hose from the tap and in case of internal connection (= water is inside the machine), turn off the pump switch before any maintenance.
If you have a regular garden hose at your disposal , you can use it to clean the machine. Attach one end of the hose to the tap and the other to the pressure washer's water inlet. Turn on the tap and let some water run through the machine for a while. Then turn off the tap, disconnect the hose and proceed with cleaning the carburetor.
