My father bought this pressure washer brand new from wally world. I assembled it, later he added oil and gas. About three weeks later he decided to use it on a rental property. He couldn't get it to start, told him nearest Generac dealer is 45 miles away.
I decided to check it out, pulled spark plug out and spark was good. Took air filter off, noticed a drop of fresh oil on air filter. Sprayed a shot of starting fluid into carb and started right up. I noticed exhaust blowing some white smoke. On this carb it has a carb drain screw so checked for fuel in carb. Out pours oil from carb bowl, let it pour out till it's just gas. Put drain screw and fire it up. Let it smoke for several minutes until it fouls out plug. Cleaned plug and after a few more minutes smoke clears. As you probably know there was some oil already in it, upside down, sideways on its way. He used it the next day, all good.
Thought I would share this if anyone has this problem one day.
