Why does my Briggs & Stratton Pressure Washer pump have low or erratic pressure?
- R
  robertsmithSep 1, 2025
  If your Briggs & Stratton Pressure Washer pump isn't producing pressure, has erratic pressure, chatters, loses pressure, or has low water volume, here's what to check: 1. Ensure a high-pressure spray tip is installed; if not, replace it. 2. Clear any blockage in the water inlet. 3. Make sure the water supply is adequate. 4. Straighten any kinks in the inlet hose and patch any leaks. 5. Check and clean the inlet hose strainer. 6. Ensure the water supply is not over 100°F; use a cooler water supply. 7. Clear any blockages in the high-pressure hose. 8. Replace the gun if it's leaking. 9. Clean any obstructions in the spray tip. 10. If none of these steps work, the pump may be faulty, consider contacting an authorized service facility.
