Pw gun leak
« on: November 26, 2017, 11:46:53 pm »
My pressure washer is purging if thats the correct term. Anyway yesterday I noticed it's the large QR coupling on the gun that's leaking (the QR connecting to the lance)
What could be the cause of the problem, a dodgy washer?

The Female QC? The O rings might have split, they are an easy change just flick them out with a small screwdriver,  is the male all knurled and pitted from the little steel bearing  in the female? Might be worth changing it.

You can put a kit in the trigger if it's something like a sutner but I just change the trigger - I have a heap of old ones ! Get a 2300 they last ages
