pressure washer question
I have a Troy Bilt 2700 psi pressure washer (like the ones Lowes sells), a guy just gave me.
He said I need to work on the carb a bit.
I've been told that if you run a pressure washer, without water hook-up, you can easily ruin it.
I'd like to get my engine going, without having a bunch of water while I'm working on the engine.
Is there anything simple I can do to run the engine with no water hook-up. Valve to remover, anything? How about if I go ahead and pull the vertical pump off?

I don't know anything about your particular PWer but generally the pressure hose and wand is interchangeable ..... except for the real cheap units. I haven't priced any of it in a long time but Northern Tool and probably the big box stores sell wands/hoses.
