I just bought a Troy Bilt model 020344 pressure washer and pulled it out to clean the siding on my house. I followed all the steps and it started on the first pull. However, after a minute or two, the engine started pulsing and then stalled. I could get it started again, but it would basically die again right away.
Since I just bought it, I brought the unit back, returned it, and got another one. The new one showed the same behavior! Am I doing something wrong? What would account for this symptom in two new units?
Here are the steps I followed: check oil and gas, run water through the hose for 30 second, connect water hose and high pressure hose to the washer, turn on water, pull trigger on spray gun until water comes through steadily, turn on engine switch, open fuel valve, pull out choke, start, and push in choke.
Help!!
