My pressure washer is leaking gas as soon as I filled the tank. Every season I expect not to be able to start my Troy-Bilt pressure washer because of issues as a result of old gas and corrosion of the carburetor. I was prepared to make the fix that I do every season, which is to clean the ports in the bowl nut. All I wanted to do was clean my driveway with a new pressure washer surface cleaner I purchased.
As you can see in the video it was leaking by the carburetor. My guess is that the o-ring gasket around the bowl or the small gasket around the bowl nut failed. Rather than investigate that issue I decided to purchase a replacement carburetor. I had already removed the original carburetor in preparation for this.
Once I installed the carburetor and put a little gas in the tank it started right up after a few pull starts. You'll see in this video youtu.be/N7LKAN7lj2k that I successfully cleaned my driveway with the new pressure washer surface cleaner.
