      If your Briggs & Stratton Pressure Washer's engine won't start or runs rough, several issues could be the cause. Check the oil level and fill the crankcase if it's low. Clean or replace the air cleaner if it's dirty. Ensure the fuel tank isn't empty, and if the fuel is stale or has water in it, drain the tank and refill with fresh fuel. Also, make sure the spark plug wire is connected to the spark plug, and replace the spark plug if it's bad. If the fuel mixture is too rich, contact a local service facility.

First, make sure you are not using a low-pressure nozzle; if you are, replace it with a high-pressure nozzle. Check for any blockages in the water inlet and clear them. Ensure you have an adequate water supply. Inspect the inlet hose for kinks or leaks; straighten the hose or patch any leaks. Clean the inlet hose screen if it's clogged. Ensure the water supply isn't too hot (over 100°F or 38°C); use a cooler water supply. Check the high-pressure hose for blockages or leaks and clear any blockages. If the spray gun leaks, replace it.
