Hi All, I got the FSC out to clean a drive yesterday morning and when I fired up the pressure washer, one of the jets was blocked on the FSC. Managed to get the nut off after a bit of swearing and it was a bit of rubber washer stuck in the hole.
My question is, where could this washer have come from? Might it have come from inside the pressure washer?
It seemed to work fine after, maybe a bit noisier than normal :-\

It might have come from the pump. what pump is it? I know the interpumps have rubber seals around the base of the valve. i serviced my pump the other day and 3 of said seals were in bits. not sure if they could make it through the pump. though they went somewhere cause the bits were missing.

If it is as said a washer ? Do you mean a piece of o ring ?
-
Hi BDS, yes it is a bit of o ring. Sorry, should have been more accurate in my description.

if its not from a quick connect coupling is it from inside the whirlaway itself check to see if the whirlaway still working correctly now the jet has been cleared

It seemed to work ok after I removed it. Cleaned the drive anyway :) It may not have been as smooth as normal though.
