  If your Briggs & Stratton Pressure Washer engine won't start or runs rough, check the following: * Ensure the oil level is correct by filling the crankcase. * Clean or replace the air cleaner if it's dirty. * Fill the fuel tank if it's empty or drain and refill with fresh fuel if the fuel is stale or contains water. * Connect the spark plug wire, or replace the spark plug if it's bad. If the issue persists, it may be due to an excessively rich fuel mixture, and you should contact a local service facility.

  If your Briggs & Stratton Pressure Washer pump isn't producing pressure, has erratic pressure, chatters, loses pressure, or has low water volume, try the following: * Replace the low-pressure spray tip with a high-pressure one. * Clear any blockage in the water inlet. * Ensure an adequate water supply. * Straighten any kinks or patch leaks in the inlet hose. * Check and clean the inlet hose screen. * Use a cooler water supply if the current supply exceeds 100°F (38°C). * Clear any blockages in the high-pressure hose. * Replace the spray gun if it leaks. * Clean the spray tip. If the problem persists, the pump may be faulty, and you should contact a local service facility.

  If the detergent isn't mixing with the spray from your Briggs & Stratton Pressure Washer, ensure the detergent siphoning tube is fully submerged in the detergent. Also, check the detergent siphoning tube and filter for clogs or cracks; clean or replace them as necessary. Finally, make sure you're using a low-pressure spray tip, not a high-pressure one.
