Why Craftsman 580.768340 Pressure Washer engine will not start or starts and runs rough?
- Z
  zachary74Aug 8, 2025
  If your Craftsman Pressure Washer's engine won't start or runs rough, several issues could be the cause. First, check the oil level and fill the crankcase if it's low. A dirty air cleaner can also be the culprit, so clean or replace it. Make sure you have gasoline in the tank; if the gasoline is stale, drain the tank and fill it with fresh fuel. Ensure the spark plug wire is connected to the spark plug, and replace the spark plug if it's bad. Also, drain the gas tank and fill it with fresh fuel if there is water in the gasoline. If you've overchoked the engine, open the choke fully and crank it. For excessively rich fuel mixture, intake valve issues, or loss of engine compression, contact a Sears service facility.

How to troubleshoot pressure problems with Craftsman Pressure Washer pump?
- R
  Ricky MirandaAug 17, 2025
  If the pump on your Craftsman Pressure Washer fails to produce pressure, exhibits erratic pressure, chatters, loses pressure, or has low water volume, several issues could be the cause. Ensure the nozzle is in high pressure mode by pulling it backward. Clear any blockages in the water inlet and ensure an adequate water supply. Straighten any kinks in the inlet hose and patch any leaks. Check and clean the inlet hose strainer. Ensure the water supply is not over 140°F. Clear any blockages or leaks in the high pressure hose. Replace the gun if it leaks, and clean the nozzle if it's obstructed. If the pump is faulty, contact a Sears service facility.

Why Craftsman Pressure Washer engine bogs when load is added?

  Jose SavageAug 21, 2025
  If the engine on your Craftsman Pressure Washer runs well without a load but bogs down when a load is added, the engine speed may be too slow. Try moving the throttle control to the FAST position. If the engine still bogs down, contact a Sears service facility.

  If detergent fails to mix with the spray of your Craftsman Pressure Washer, make sure the detergent siphoning tube is submerged in the detergent. If the chemical filter is clogged, clean or replace the filter/detergent siphoning tube. Check that the nozzle is in low pressure mode by pushing it forward.

What to do if Craftsman 580.768340 Pressure Washer engine hunts or falters?

  If your Craftsman Pressure Washer engine “hunts” or falters, it could be that the choke is opened too soon. Move the choke to the halfway position until the engine runs smoothly.
