To also add to that - its a Honda GX390 petrol engine
Can you buy just the parts for the unloader valve, or is it best to buy and replace the whole thing?
Many thanks

Well you are if your abroad - I’d be quite p!seed investing several grand and ongoing fees to only get the franchiser only accessible by phone or email

I'm not sure why it matters. It's only window cleaning it would be worrying if you had franchisees that couldn't be self sufficient and need their hand holding. What is it that would need you in person ?

Window Cleaning Forum / pressure washer issues

For those guys that use pressure washers, any ideas on what the problem could be?
When using the pressure washer its fine, power is there as normal. As soon as i release the trigger on the lance or fsc, the machine is juddering like mad, almost like its got an air block. I then have to open the release valve quickly, to stop the juddering.
Ive tried the usual methods to unblock the air, but its still doing it. (only happened yesterday and then again today)
Could it be the unloader valve that needs replacing? any ideas appreciated.
Thanks in advance guys

I think if i buy one guys, i will also need to add a trailer to my van. Fitting it all in looks a proper tight squeeze. I have my water tank in the van also, so that cant easily be taken out, anyone use a trailer, seems sensible to me.
I have a VW Transporter, will just fit a tower in i feel.

Been looking in to the franchise model. I’m pretty clear on most of it but could somebody clarify if you actually provide the client list for your franchisee?

I've learned something from this thread.

That a secondhand Electric van might be a good buy right now. If I was in the market (my van miles are usually 25 to 35 in a day - minimum 10, maximum 50) I would consider one.

However as my van is on 75K and 12 years old and I aim to stop window cleaning within 5 years I hope it will see me through.

I tend to find hypo needs rinsing before it dries. It’ll leave really stubborn salts on the glass if you don’t.

The latest problem is how much copper is in the charging leads. They are going round early morning and pinching them and selling them or getting £60 of copper out of them.  They even chop them like what happened at Porsche & Merc garages and caused £80k worth of damage. Guy in USA woke up and had to buy a new one because it took the young guy 13 seconds to steal it. $2700 it cost him for a new one. I think hybrid is the real winner out of the RV revolution.

Scrap copper is about £5 a kilo. Did his charging cables really weigh 12kg?

Doesn't sound likely to me.

Every joule of energy a hybrid uses comes from burning hydrocarbons (plug-in hybrids less so). It cannot possibly be the solution to the problem of using clean, non CO2 producing, energy to power vehicles.

Anyway, the thread was about EVs. Hybrids aren't EVs.
