Depending on the carburetor setup that pressure washer has, remove air filter, as well as plastic enclosure behind air filter. Remove bolts that hold carburetor to block. Remove gas line after clamping hose if has gas in tank. Remove throttle linkage carefully and spring. Once you have carburetor in hand, remove carburetor bowl. Look inside (where the bowl bolt goes into) and you should see a slot for a flathead screwdrivew, carefully remove that jet. Once that piece is out there should be a longer jet that falls out, if not, open carb and u will see other end inside carb, just gently press dwn on it to assist ot out. With a dental pick or simmilar tool, make sure all those tiny holes are open and clean of debri. Reassemble, and should fire up and stay running, if not amazon sells carburetors for between 5 and 20 bucks. Also if your carb doesnt have the center jet flathead screw to pullout, take whatever works and send it thru the center hole to open up that small passage..if all else fails spend the 6 bucks and buy a new carburetor..if any issues reachout on here again.

if you follow the chemical hose back to the pump it will be attached to a barbed nipple, behind the nipple there should be an o-ring, spring and a ball.
A lot of the time if you are using the proper nozzle in the low pressure setting and still cannot create suction the ball will be stuck to the o-ring. You can just free this up and put a little white grease on the o-ring.

Have a helper hold the trigger of the wand open while you try it again. If it starts that way you have a sticky unloader valve in the pump. DO NOT RELEASE the trigger for more than 10 seconds if the engine continues to strain when released! If the engine doesnt run freely when you let go of the trigger, pull it again and shut down the unit!
Add some power steering fluid to your supply hose (about 3 or 4 ounces at a time) and restart the unit with the trigger pulled. Allow the oil to flow through the pump for 1 - 2 minutes for each treatment. Several treatments should make the pump and valve happy again.
Hope this helps.

The type of oil recommended for that engine is SAE 10W-30 and the capacity is 0.61 quarts. This and more can be referenced at the website at the end of this solution. I was able to find the owners manual of your particular engine.
