Why is my Graco 231-560 Construction Equipment engine not pulling over?
- J
  Joel SmithSep 12, 2025
  If your Graco Construction Equipment engine won’t pull over, it could be because oil is seeping into the combustion chamber. To resolve this, remove the spark plug, pull the starter rope 3 or 4 times, clean or replace the plug, and then try to start the engine again. Also, keep the sprayer upright to avoid oil seepage.

  Michelle EllisonSep 14, 2025
  The pump on your Graco Construction Equipment might be difficult to prime due to: * Air in the pump or the hose. Check and tighten all the fluid connections. Reduce the engine speed and cycle the pump as slowly as possible during priming. * A leaking intake valve. Clean the intake valve, ensuring the ball seat is not nicked or worn and that the ball seats well. Then, reassemble the valve. * Worn pump packings. Replace the pump packings. * Paint that is too thick. Thin the paint according to the supplier’s recommendations. * An engine speed that is too high. Decrease the throttle setting before priming the pump.
