    Hey Russ. Q about carburetor.

    Tried to pm you but your box is full. Hey Russ. If I need a new carb can you get it for me? And if I don't need a new one what would make the engine run rough? It smooths out with the choke in half way. If I put a new one in do I have to adjust it? I hate the thought! Also once I get it going...

    How to get swivel apart.

    I got the swivel off my hammerhead and I took the retaining clip off. Bearings started coming out all broken and rusty. How do I get the rest apart? It doesn't want to separate.

    My Hammerhead stopped.

    I'll probably either get a new swivel(hammerhead) or convert it. Had to settle for this $675 jalopy! I needed it for a big job right away. It cleans a little better than the Hammerhead, but the maneuverablity is a joke. I gotta pretty much cut in 2 inches and do all corners fully. The hammerhead...

    question about pump.

    I have a general pump that has 4 ports. There is just plugs in the two empty ports. I looked up the specs on the pump and it says the 3/8 port on top is where you can install a thermal protector. They even give the part number. This doesn't sound right to me. Isn't the top 3/8" port the outlet...

    bought a craigslist special as a spare. question?

    I bought a spare washer off of craigslist on the spur of the moment. It is a 13 HP w/cat pump. The problem is the pump is painted over and I can't see the model # or anything. The guy who sold it to me said it is a 4.5 GPM 3500 psi with gearbox. I am not sure but I think the unloader is flow...

    Does pressure washing driveways remove a little bit of concrete off the surface?

    I've been doing some driveways in a development that I never worked in, and it seems whenever I'm done I see a little more exposed aggregate. And sometimes you can see lines from my surface cleaner, not dirt lines, exposed rocks in the concrete. I have reduced the pressure to 1500 psi, and it...

    Question about the nozzle calculator sticky.

    I was using that nozzle calculator to determine what size nozzle I need to bring a 4 gpm 4200 psi machine down to between 800 and 1100 psi for softwashing. When I typed in 1100 a warning came up saying I could destroy my equipment or something because of OVER PRESSURIZING, that does not make...

    Rust stain question

    I have the same problem tried oxalic acid, covered and let it dwell for half an hour. Then scrubbed with a brush. Nothing. I think it is fertilizer stains because the stains are on the edges of the sidewalk. But I know there are sprinklers and this area has hard water. Will F9 take this out?
