Pressure Washer Parts?

[Matt M PA]

Hi guys...I was working trying to clean some cement around the house using my electric pressure washer. It wasn't up to the task.

Long story short, a friend stopped by and gave me the pressure washer shown in the pics. It has a Honda 5HP engine that runs great. Problem is, the pump leaks around the top of the pump where the pressure knob is located and it also doesn't draw cleaning chemicals as it should. Finally, if I stop spraying...the engine usually stops too.

My thinking is to just replace the pump. I see some replacements on eBay for $129 and they are the same make that is on the washer now, although higher pressure and a different appearance. They are listed for my model, EXWGC2225.

Since my experience is very limited on these things...am I better off trying to rebuild or fix this pump or just replace it? Or...just use it as is (which is a PITA)?

I picked one up on the side of the road. Put O-Rings in it, worked OK, but now is leaking again.
IMHO
If you believe the engine is fine, buy the pump! Lots less headaches as long as the coupling and mounts are the same.

Since you got it for free, why not try to take it apart first, and see if it might be something simple, like a seal or o-ring that went bad, and is causing the leak?

It will only cost you some of your time to see.

Also, check around at your local Home Depot or Lowes for pressure washers that people used one time and then brought back for a refund.

Alot of times instead of renting one, people buy one to clean their house or driveway one time, and then bring it back for a refund.

Then HD and Lowes puts those out for sale in front of the store for quite a substantial discount.

You may find that for just a few dollars more you could get a practically new machine instead of trying to fix an old one.

Just another alternative to think about.

Since I just bought a power washer this SUmmer, it made me wonder how hard it would be to buy parts for mine. This is what turned up in the first Google search.

EDIT:

Following your part number showed that the pump is discontinued but looks like you can buy a replacement pump.

Using the pump part number (PK16331) shown for your PW, I found this parts list and available parts elewhere. Looks like most of the stuff is unavailable but does have a diagrahm of the parts that might help.

Thanks guys....all good thoughts.

A little more investigation on mine. I took out the detergent connector/valve. Looks like it's stuck-frozen so that's why no detergent was drawing.

The leak is coming from what looks to be a replaced O ring where the pressure adjust knob is located.

According to the manual, it has a pump made by Annovi Reverberi...

Many of the less expensive consumer grade PW have pumps that are discontinued and/or have no repair parts available.

You can but a whole new pump for $100-$200. Buy a brand that HAS been around and HAS repair parts available (AR, Comet, just to name 2).

My buddy bought a replacement from pwoutlet.com. Call their 800 number and they will fix you up.

Just my experience; Stock O rings found at hardware and even power equipment stores, usually are not the correct size. I have had to buy $40.00, equipment specific, O ring kit's just to obtain one O ring.

AR is a good brand. Parts should be available.
