Still want it as its brand new from a local company and less than half price  ;D
Surley i can use some sort of fsc with it by matching the jets to the flow rate, never had a brand new machine before, whats the best way to connect it to a 650ibc which has a tap and 2' thred or hoseloc male fitting.
Can't wait to have a shinney new machine as (in one week) i've tryed a cheap karcher 240v off a genney which woulden't draw water from tank, a 6.5hp that blew after 30 sec's
Just hope i get a warrenty with it!!
but i reacon spare shoulden't by a probleum  ???

I took two Yanmar diesel pressure washers in for a full service today< These machines have been absolutely hammered for the last twelve months. I have grit in the pumps, one of them has been tipped upside down and they have run consistently for extended periods, minimum ten hour days on very long lengths of hose.

I will get them back next week, running as good as they were when I got them, £800.00 each.

Try that with a cheap machine!!!

Rob ;D
