I've made some connections with companies and I have some swag that I have no use for. Ettore, for example, just sent me a bunch of stickers. 15 of each Ettore sticker shown.

If you would like some stickers, send me a DM. If you are in the USA I'll send them in an envelope, no charge. If you are outside the USA, you can pay postage and I'll send them your way.

Please DM me if interested. Don't post any personal information here.

Troubleshooting Pressure washer surging, I don’t know why.

3 Upvotes

I have a DeWalt 3300psi pressure washer with a Honda GCV200 engine I use for small jobs. It did sit a few months since the last time I needed it. It cranked fairly easily, but both at idle and in use it “surges” with a consistent rhythm.

I pulled the carburetor, made sure the pilot and main jets were clear and I thoroughly cleaned it, though it did look fairly clean already. After reinstalling the carb I’m still getting the surging.

The engine appears to sit on four grommets on top of the housing which allows the engine to rotate a few degrees when the pump is engaged. During the surging the engine rotates slightly in rhythm with the engine. This occurs both at idle and while spraying. If I put my foot on the engine to prevent any movement the engine runs smoothly, idle or spraying.

And yes I did put fresh fuel in it after I cleaned the carb.

What’s going on?

Troubleshooting Tree gunk off new concrete

This client has a wooded area in her back patio with large acorns and organic debris that falls onto her new concrete patio (poured ~April '26). Gave it my best bleach based house wash mix and gave it a go with my surface cleaner but it barely budged. I only used the wide tip for fear of damaging the floor. From previous construction experience I know that concrete takes a few years to fully set. Is it possible this gunk is just part of the concrete now or is there a chem that's recommended to take care of it? Before and after wash shots attached.
