Why won't my Simpson MS61220 engine start?
- BBrenda JonesAug 4, 2025
If your Simpson Pressure Washer's engine won't start, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the fuel tank isn't empty; if it is, add fresh fuel. Secondly, verify that the engine switch is in the ON position and that the engine fuel is also turned on. Check that the spark plug wire is securely attached. Also, the engine oil might be low, triggering the low oil sensor (if equipped) to shut off the engine; check the engine oil and fill it as needed per the engine manual. Finally, water pressure in the pump might be preventing the engine from turning over; aim the spray gun in a safe direction and pull the trigger to release this pressure.
