with luck a easy fix

Ditch-Runner
     I went into town to the TSC pick up some chicken feed for the wife's "pets" out front of the store they had a pressure washer  with a Honda engine looked ( champion brand I think ) nice almost new  a bit dirty but marked 99.00 as is .. $399.00  was the original price 
     so I  pulled the cord  it turned over easy seemed to have compression the wand hose and nozzles all there  and looked new .
      I walked in said I take the pressure washer , a few seemed surprised they did not know about it , the manager came up  said yep 99.00  then  showed the clerk how to over ride the price for the sale .
    he helped me load  it in my truck told me per the  customer  it would run but then die after a few minutes 
 they took it back placed it out side , must have just done so . not long before I got there 
     any way I have it in the garage will give a going over later tonight , my guess something simple  easy fix or possible the 'customer " did  the project  he needed to to then returned it . there basic so should be a easy fix no matter what  .  besides parts alone was worth the 99.00

    If the ‘Champion’ you’re referring to is the same company that makes generators, I have nothing but good to say about them.
    Any company that has an employee on call (at home) on weekends to answer/solve customers questions is a rare occurrence in this day and age !!
      I had to go out and look to be sure its a   "simpson " where I got champion just a guess when I posted  :/

    got one earlier this summer, had the same results the second time I tried to use it. It had a cylinder shaped plastic piece in the gas tank that was on the gas line, had a spring and washer in it, it fell apart, I dug it out with tweezers and put it back together but it wouldn't run more than a few seconds, not sure what this piece was, if it was just a pickup/filter or some type of pump, took it back and they gave me another brand as the one I got was the last one of that model, haven't had any issues with the replacement washer.

    Aren't pressure washers used to clean stuff...as in work?

    Will it blow the paint off a Chevy pickup?

    Got this one at Direct Tools. They sell refurb with a 30 day store warrant and a one year manufacture. Got it for 200.00 and thought it was a good deal. Honda motor. I think they are pretty much cookie cutter in this size.

    Check valve gas flows one way and can't lose prime.
