Hello. I recently acquired a NorthStar 2000 psi 1.5 gpm electric pressure washer. I was told that it needed repair due to being used with well water, and it was sitting idle for two years with a tag on it that read "needs repair." I fired it up and found that it worked flawlessly. I ordered the correct Cat Pumps oil and changed it. I know you can use generic non-detergent SAE 30 oil as a substitute, but I opted for the OEM stuff ($15 per quart including shipping from Northern Tool.)
Anyway, most of the nozzles were missing except for the yellow and the white ones.
I ordered a set of 5 nozzles online, non-OEM. The smallest orifice size they had available was "3.0," but I believe these were listed as being compatible with 2.0 gpm or 2.5 gpm pressure washers. I was not able to find anything beneath a 3.0 orifice size, even though my pressure washer has a lower gpm rating than what these nozzles are listed as being compatible with.
They have no arrived yet, but I am curious as to if these will function correctly.
Also, the lance on this pressure washer is odd. It isn't a straight tube, but has a sort of arc in the tubing. It makes it somewhat difficult to spray because you have to tild the entire wand at a strange angle. It looks like it came this way from the factory.
NorthStar's most recent 2000 psi 1.5 gpm pressure washer appears to come with a straight lance. What is this curved lance generally used for? It is not curved enough to be for gutter cleaning. It just seems strange and not very helpful in any particular cleaning situation that I can think of.
