Why does my Generac Portable Products 2700PSI Pressure Washer pump have low pressure?
- J
  john56Aug 16, 2025
  If your Generac Portable Products Pressure Washer pump isn't producing pressure, has erratic pressure, chatters, loses pressure, or has low water volume, several issues could be the cause. First, ensure you're using a high-pressure spray tip, and replace it if a low-pressure one is installed. Check for and clear any blockages in the water inlet. Make sure the water supply is adequate. Inspect the inlet hose for kinks or leaks, straightening it or patching any leaks. Clean the inlet hose strainer if it's clogged. Ensure the water supply isn't over 100°F, and clear any blockages in the high-pressure hose. If the gun leaks, replace it. Clean the nozzle if it's obstructed. If none of these steps resolve the issue, the pump may be faulty, and you should contact a Generac service facility.

  If your Generac Portable Products Pressure Washer engine won't start or runs roughly, there are several potential causes. Begin by checking the oil level and fill the crankcase to the proper level if it's low. Inspect the air cleaner and clean or replace it if it's dirty. Ensure the fuel tank has gasoline, and if the gasoline is stale, drain the tank and fill it with fresh fuel. Make sure the spark plug wire is connected to the spark plug, and replace the spark plug if it's bad. If there's water in the gasoline, drain the tank and fill it with fresh fuel. If the engine is overchoking, open the choke fully and crank the engine. For excessively rich fuel mixture, intake valve issues, or lost compression, contact a Briggs and Stratton service facility.

  If the detergent isn't mixing with the spray in your Generac Portable Products Pressure Washer, make sure the detergent siphoning tube is fully submerged in the detergent. Check the chemical filter for clogs or cracks; clean or replace the filter or detergent siphoning tube if necessary. If a high-pressure spray tip is installed, replace it with a low-pressure spray tip.

  Joseph AllenAug 26, 2025
  If your Generac Portable Products Pressure Washer engine 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 Briggs and Stratton service facility.

Why is my Generac Portable Products Pressure Washer pump not producing pressure?
- L
  Levi Prince DDSSep 6, 2025
  There are several reasons why your Generac Portable Products Pressure Washer pump might not be producing pressure. It could be due to a low-pressure nozzle being installed (replace it with a high-pressure nozzle), a blocked water inlet (clear the inlet), an inadequate water supply (provide adequate water flow), a kinked or leaking inlet hose (straighten the hose or patch the leak), a clogged inlet hose strainer (check and clean the strainer), or a water supply that's too hot (provide a cooler water supply). Also, check for blockages or leaks in the high-pressure hose and clean the nozzle if it is obstructed. If the gun leaks, replace it.
