DS It amy be worth printing this off for future reference,  3 years and no valves or unloader change ? Do you not use it much?

That thread should have been sticked but alas not on this forum

[mark.laycock1@ntlw]

[drive surgeon]

is it rusted up and he cant move it 

[mark.laycock1@ntlw]

no he uses it every week. but i went to lock up the other day the place was like a skating ring god knows what that machine is like.

[drive surgeon]

is it just the valves that go if your pressure washer freezes with water in it?  what else can go wrong/?

[Roger Oakley]

First things I would look for is valves, 'O' rings broken for starters.
It really is going to depend how much water was left in the pump and how cold has it been where you have the machine stored?
I said before let the machine thaw-out naturally and you might get away with no damage.

cheers roger i will just wait for it to thaw out then.  i have never opened up a pump before though.

[Roger Oakley]

Once it has thawed out, and a way to tell is, try pulling the pull-start very slowly (with nothing switched on) so that you should be able to hear the pistons going up & down, if the pull start won't pull then the pump or maybe the engine is still frozen. If it does pull ok then when you start it up keep it at lowish revs to start with till warm, as the oil's are going to be a bit thick and need to warm up.

[mark.laycock1@ntlw]

[drive surgeon]
