Husky PW HU80432 losing oil!

Hi all, was using my pressure washer today and noticed a small pool of oil

right up under the pump. The pump continued to work ok and I finished the job. Is it possible to add additional oil to these pumps or is my pump on its way out?

not sure if my message went through sounds like the seal is worn or the bushing where the shaft goes in the pump is worn.

Thanks for the response Tim. Looks like this model pump is a "throwaway." I examined it and found no plugs to add oil or sight glasses showing oil level like I've seen on others. Vendors do not show any repair parts for it. If and when it quits working , I can get a new one for right around $100.

where to find carb rebuild kit Keihin (Canada)?

Q

qwertyjjj on Jul 07, 2014

Any ideas what carb rebuild kit I need? The carb is a Keihin One barrel 32 053 03 64A UAP fits with a Kohler Courage 20 engine. I can't seem to find the correct gaskets online - pictured here: [url]https://www.dropbox.com/s/8tsc081ynckdgm0/IMG_20140707_112135141_HDR.jpg[/url] [url]https://www.dropbox.com/s/a8krtvlsliutjiw/IMG_20140707_112141320_HDR.jpg[/url] Most kits seem to have 1 gasket but shouldn;t there be 2 (same shape) for front and back of carb?Read More

power washer stopped and won't start

A

I have been power washing for the last few days. i am using an Excell 2600 with a Honda GC160 engine. Its about 10 years old but has been well maintained and never used much. While using my second tank of gas for the day, the engine just stopped and would not restart. When We pulled the cord there was very little resistance and no turnover at all. A bit of history includes low water pressure coming from our well. This engine issue started three tanks full after we got the pressure fixed. The day of and the day before the water had been surging just a little if that matters. We were reading that low or inconsistent water pressure hurts pump.Based on that information about the pump, we removed it. with the pump off the engine does not act any different. It still has very little resistance and no turnover. We are trying to figure out if we blew the engine or if this is a pump issue.. we are hoping it is something little like a switch.. but when it stopped it was going strong and just stopped. Like someone flipped a switch. I was wearing ear covers so I can not tell you if it sputtered. I can only say that it was working great one second and dead the next. This unit is very hard to start and there has been kickback in the past so to have no resistance at all is unusual. The filters are clean, the spark plug seems clean, the gas should be good.. its been working for several days. Thats about all I can tell you off the top of my head. Your advice is valued and hopefully I can answer your questions.Read More
