Why won't my Wen PW31 start?
- J
  Joseph Armstrong MDAug 3, 2025
  If the engine of your Wen Pressure Washer doesn't start, there are several potential causes: * The engine switch might be off, so set it to "ON." * The fuel valve could be off; turn it to the "ON" position. * The choke might be open; close it. * The engine might be out of fuel; add gasoline. * The gasoline may be contaminated or old; change it. * The spark plug could be dirty; clean it, or broken; replace it. * The generator might not be on a level surface; move it to one. * The oil level might be low; add or replace the oil.

  Danielle WilliamsAug 9, 2025
  If your Wen Pressure Washer pump isn't producing pressure or the pressure is inconsistent, check these: 1. Ensure the water supply isn't restricted by inspecting the garden hose for leaks and using a hose with at least a ¾ inch diameter. 2. Make sure the water source is fully open. 3. Clean the nozzle if it's clogged. 4. Check the spray gun for leaks and tighten the connection or replace the gun if needed. 5. Squeeze the trigger to remove any air in the line. 6. Clean the inlet hose screen if it's clogged. 7. Ensure the water supply is cooler than 100°F.
