![]() It has BIG wheels for rolling that are not rubber inflatable. It has a lighter hose that is easier to wind up than heavier duty ones. Like those adjustable selection spray nozzles on your hose, this rotates to several optional spray patterns. First the good It starts first pull cold after one pull with choke on. There are some neat features on this pressure washer and a couple that I don't care for. They walk away, come back in 5 minutes and it starts. Then the idiot home owner tries to start it, moving the gas and choke levers, and can't get it started again. Tip it back onto it's wheels while it's running and the oil level cut-off switch will engage, killing the motor. The pressure washer is on a rolling cart. In fact, tip it a little on a slope to get maybe a few more ounces in there. Fill that thing until it over flows, then put the plug in. The trick is add ALL the oil in the 600cc bottle they give you. If it's only a little bit sloped ground, it will start until oil is pumped to the valves, then it will stop, thinking it's low on oil. If the motor is not sitting on flat ground, it might think there's not enough oil in it and turn itself off. If there's not enough oil in this thing, it will turn the motor off. ![]() The second 'problem' is the oil level cut-off switch. See where I'm going here? Idiots would move both levers, the wrong levers, the right levers the wrong way, etc. Move both levers and it will run for a few minutes, then stop. Not the fuel lever too! Pull the rope it will start. Just push the fuel lever to OPEN, the choke to START and pull. The gas lever under it has OPEN and CLOSE, hence the confusion. The graphic icon shows the choke butterfly open or closed depending on if you have the lever to RUN or START. Here's where the confusion comes in the ON position is not labeled ON, it's labeled RUN, but hard to see. Most lawnmower engines have automatic chokes these days but this motor has the old fashioned lever you need to move. The 'fix' is two fold people don't take the time to read instructions or even the labels on the machine. Got a mini bike? Whoop! This will send it down the trials. You can't find a motor of this caliber this cheap, let alone a whole pressure washer, so if you just need a great horizontal shaft gas motor, this is a great price. This is the 208cc version, not sure how many hp, but probably around 8 or 9hp. I have one in my compactor/wacker and my log splitter. Nothing fancy, this motor is in a lot of power tools I own, so I'm familiar with the motor. THIRD the problems/ complaints were that it wouldn't stay running or wouldn't start.įOURTH the solution to these 'problem's was to fix operator error. SECOND the bad reviews were based on the first thing listed. I read the reviews closer and discovered a few things įIRST most home owners are idiots and probably shouldn't be allowed to own gas powered engines. ![]() Then a lot of people wrote bad reviews and Costco dropped the price by $80 to $269.99 with free shipping too. I saw this listed on sale for the low price of $349.99 with free shipping and thought it was a good deal. This is a review of the Husqvarna 3200 PSI Gas Pressure Washer on sale at Costco. ![]()
