6. Operating Instructions (Post-Installation)

After installing the new carburetor, follow these steps before operating your pressure washer:

1. Add Fuel: Fill the fuel tank with fresh, appropriate fuel for your pressure washer engine.
2. Open Fuel Valve: Turn the fuel supply valve to the "ON" position.
3. Prime Carburetor (if applicable): Some carburetors may have a primer bulb. If present, press it several times until fuel is visible.
4. Choke Setting: Set the choke lever to the "CHOKE" or "START" position for a cold engine. For a warm engine, set it to "RUN" or "OFF".
5. Start Engine: Follow your pressure washer's manufacturer instructions for starting the engine.
6. Adjust Choke: Once the engine starts, gradually move the choke lever to the "RUN" or "OFF" position as the engine warms up.

If the engine does not start or runs poorly, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your carburetor ensures long-term reliability and optimal engine performance. This carburetor is designed for simple maintenance.

• Fuel Quality: Always use fresh, clean fuel. Stale or contaminated fuel is the most common cause of carburetor issues. Consider using a fuel stabilizer if the pressure washer will be stored for extended periods.
• Fuel Filter: Regularly check and replace the fuel filter (if present in your pressure washer's fuel system) to prevent debris from reaching the carburetor.
• Cleaning: If the carburetor becomes clogged, it may require cleaning. This typically involves disassembling the fuel bowl and jets, and cleaning them with carburetor cleaner. This procedure should only be performed by individuals with mechanical experience.
• Storage: Before long-term storage, drain the fuel system or run the engine until it runs out of fuel to prevent fuel degradation and carburetor gumming.
