Got a cheaper Karcher washer several years ago. Gas powered, 2400psi.
So, for a while now, it doesn't like to pressure up. Squeeze the trigger, and a small stream of water spits out - just passing through.
If I take the tip off, pull the trigger, a full stream of water passes through, appears to be 'pressurized' but of course with no tip it's just passing through. When I release the trigger, it appears to 'power down' a bit more.
Put the tip back on, and then it will work fine when I pull the trigger, good pressure, nice fan tip spray, works well.
Let go of the trigger and it stops spraying, but won't start sprying again the next time - just dribbles a little water out the nozzle.
Repeat.
Something isn't right?
