Easy diagnosis of a TroyBilt nonstarter with no special tools. Complete routine maintenance for a pressure washer with Briggs & Stratton Quantum engine. Although the owner used the washer regularly and drained the fuel every winter, without regular upkeep, small issues become bigger problems. Full service including engine oil change, carburetor service, air filter, new orings, and this machine runs like new.

Just 'cause I do it, don't think it's the end all, be all solution. There's plenty more ideas out there, I can't take responsibility if you slice off a few fingers after watching my videos. And don't just pour that toxic stuff down the sewer or in the ditch, dispose of waste responsibly. Just be safe, OK?
