Experience will tell if it is honda "red" or another red. It should have gx 390/340  cast into the block.Also what sort of pump is attached? A long shot but i have not seen fake interpumps or cat pumps yet!!!! Chances if it has one of these it will be ok.... :-\

That is a real one...just change the unloader for one that dumps into a tank.  This one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PRESSURE-WASHER-K5-2-UNLOADER-VALVE-36-3028-41-BREVETT-/180709572782?pt=UK_Home_Garden_PowerTools_SM&hash=item2a132140ae   just check the flow /pressure rating as they do a few different ones.

Hi If it's a GX 390 Honda the engine the block will probably have something like QIEI  GCAA-*** ***** stamped on it.  It's located above the plastic filler on the Left when you look at the shaft.
Just in case someone has put a Honda pull start on a clone.

Hope this helps
