I know this is a lawn mower forum but I am posting about a pressure washer. It is a 190cc GC Honda. My problem is that when I run it heats up then if you turn it off then try to restart it will jerk back or just be RELLY hard to pull. Please help thanks -Aidan

Are you relieving the pressure by pulling the trigger before trying to start. Most low end pressure washers don't have a soft start feature, so you are trying to pull the pump and motor over and start under full pressure. I have seen some washers that you had to start while pulling the trigger to prevent pressure buildup, otherwise you would never get it started.

Thanks for the quick reply, but I do not have a pump on the engine.

Re: Honda 190 compression issue fixed

Took the cam out and the compression nob was busted along with the spring.
Got a new one runs great!
