Why Briggs & Stratton Pressure Washer unit fails to start when spray gun trigger is squeezed?

  Bryan RoseAug 5, 2025
  If your Briggs & Stratton Pressure Washer doesn't start when you squeeze the spray gun trigger, there are several possible reasons: 1. The water supply might not be turned on. Ensure that the water supply is on. 2. The unit might not be turned on. Make sure the master ON/OFF switch is in the ON (I) position and reset the PRCD. 3. The garden hose might be too long. Use only a 15.24 m (50 ft.) maximum garden hose. 4. A fuse might be blown or a circuit breaker tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. Also, try disconnecting other electrical appliances and turning off lights in the circuit, or operate the pressure washer on a dedicated circuit. Run it for 5 minutes with the turbo spray tip.
