Why is my Briggs & Stratton Pressure Washer pump not building pressure?
- MMichael RodriguezJul 31, 2025
If your Briggs & Stratton Pressure Washer pump fails to produce pressure, exhibits erratic pressure, chatters, loses pressure, or has low water volume, several factors could be the cause. First, ensure a high-pressure nozzle is installed instead of a low-pressure one. Check for and clear any blockages in the water inlet. Ensure an adequate water supply. Straighten any kinks or repair leaks in the inlet hose. Inspect and clean the inlet hose strainer. Verify the water supply temperature is not exceeding 100°F. Clear any blockages or leaks in the high-pressure hose. If the gun leaks, replace it. Clean any obstructions in the nozzle. If the pump remains faulty after checking these, contact an authorized service facility.
