A 13hp Honda engined unit of the same spec will probably cost 3 times as much.

So what can you expect for £590 ?

I have 1 that is the same as that but under a different name, these machines are big units which can be a pain in the arse when trying to get it in & out of the van, but other then that it is a great machine

took delivery of this pressure washer today at 11am and have just given up trying to start the bloody thing anybody got any idea what can be wrong before i send it back??

[BDCS]

petrol, oil, switched on ? is the plug wet ? is the plug sparking ?change the plug, send it back and get a honda

[Richy L]

will the engine start at all? or is there just no pressure?
there is a manual choke on these i think

[drive surgeon]

looks like a cheap bag of sh** to me. honda is the only way!!

[mark311069]

My mum bought a new lawnmower last year and spent a couple of hours trying to start it, phoned me up i went round, they had'nt noticed the ht lead was'nt attached to the spark plug :

got my honda out this week , first time since last back end to do my own patio, bloody thing wouldnt start, took plug out bit of a clean up and hey presto firt pull

ran out of fuel half an hour later, no prob i thought some in a can that i had in bottom of my water barrel  over the winter,  filled her up with what i thought was petrol and off we go , 10 seconds later it stopped   hmmm i didnt think that smelt like petrol when i was pouring it in :                                                                                  well as i keep my barrel outside it had a fair amount of water in it and my can was below the water level, and i guess the can had leaked water into it  :  as i had only topped up with water, never again I will always double check.
Well 10 minutes later after emptying tank and carb  of we go  

geoff

Whilst I rate Honda the original post was the poor soul that bought the inferior clone and it don't go, the sooner we help him get it going the sooner it'll go bang and he can get a Honda ! These clones are like lighters - chuck them away when they run out of fuel : : How are you getting on with starting the old girl - have you tried pleading with it in Chinese ?
