Just doing my first pressure wash with my new petrol machine and it stopped after about half hour (I checked the petrol and it was low so I put more in), but it won't restart, I checked the oil which looks fine but there's 3 dipsticks to check, one looks slightly foamy (?)

Anyone online right now?

Cheers

Just out of interest what was the issue ? Low engine oil ?.

 
Hi Paul, no it was the levers bring in the wrong place, i.e. the throttle being too far the wrong way, the choke the same ( although it started ok half hour earlier), but I rang Rutland Pumps and Sophie talked me through some troubleshooting, like releasing the pressure, opening the petrol lid etc. Managed to start it okay after a while and I think I should be okay now. The manual that comes with it is more of a troubleshooting guide than a set up guide which doesn't help. I finished the job with the Karcher I had in the van as back up, my god there's a difference once you've used a proper machine going back to using a domestic machine ?
