Revainrating 5 out of 5

Worked great on my Graco/Honda GX200 pressure washer

My pressure washer sat for over a year without starting and despite using a fuel stabilizer showed all the classic symptoms of a clogged carburetor. Spark? Yes. Run with starting liquid? Yes, just for a few seconds. Fuel line clogged? nope I thought about rebuilding the carburetor for a few minutes before I found I could buy this replacement for what I find very cheap and the reviews were good so I gave it a try. I installed it in about 30 minutes and it started up and ran great. Thanks to another reviewer with the same problem, I tried twisting the fuel inlet into position - first with my fingers (won't budge), then with pliers. It wasn't easy, in fact I was afraid that I would break or burn the fuel inlet, but finally I managed to turn it in the right direction. I was afraid it might leak after flipping it, but it didn't. Other than that and a few cosmetic differences, it otherwise fit perfectly - and it was very easy to install. The photos on the left show the old carburetor and the one on the right the new one - there are a few differences here and there but never mind as it works as it should and fits the engine and air filter housing perfectly. .After reassembly, the engine started after a few jerks and idled fine. I have used this pressure washer and with the new carb it works better than ever for me. I'm very glad I didn't have to clean the old carburetor (worst job ever) so it got 5 stars despite a very small issue with the fuel inlet pointing the wrong way. If I ever need one again, I'll be happy to buy this one.
