I bought an Ex-Cell 5.5 horse 2200 PSI pressure washer on the 127 Yard Sale two weeks ago for $25. I put some gas in it when we got home and it started,but I hadn't felt up to messing with it until today. There must have been some gunk in the carburetor that took a while to clean out. I ran it full choke for the first tractor and a half that I cleaned with it. It was either full throttle or quit,no middle of the road governor response and didn't have a whole lot of power. By the time I was done with the second tractor it idled right down and sat there pickin'em right off while I got another tractor out. The elbow on the carburetor where the gas line hooks on is cracked and drips,so that'll have to be replaced.
My old electric one has gotten so anemic that it's not much better than a nozzle on the end of a garden hose,but the first tractor I washed with this one was the 1850 Oliver and it was a mess with dried grease and caked dust. That thing blew it right off like nobodies business.
