I have the Briggs and Stratton Model 020338 Powerwasher and it has no pressure. It has power just no pressure. What could be wrong with it?
Are you priming the water lines before you switch on the power?
i.e. with power OFF, hook up hose and turn hose on (doesn't need to have much hose pressure), then take your spray gun or attachment and pull the trigger and allow water to flow through the system (at hose pressure obviously). You might need to gravity feed it if its not flowing through...
But you will generally only get pressure once all the air is removed from the lines and the pump is pushing water only... Once you have water flow and lines are primed, switch on pump and see if that solves it.
Hmm ok obvious out of the way... Is there a troubleshooting section in the user manual dealing with no pressure situations?
Well i guess its always possible, or could be a small blockage too somewhere along the line causing a bit of a problem. Quite hard to tell I guess without pulling everything apart. If you have tried everything else it might be worth contacting the manufacturer and seeking their technical opinion.

That was done and I still get no pressure.
Thanks Though
yup and all that was tried. I was reading on here on somedifferent ones about a calcium build up and something being stuck open but not sure if that applies to our model and that was not listed in the troubleshooting guide.
