This is on a pressure washer I just bought used, it appears to have new gaskets between the carb and the engine. The engine starts on the first pull and runs very smooth, but it seems when I use the washer under full pressure, around 3600 PSI, it slows down a little more then I would think is normal but I understand this is a heavy load for the engine.
I just put a new AR pump on it and everything seems to be working fine, but when I shut it off there was a pop from the exhaust so I want to speculate something is slightly out of adjustment.
What should I look for with adjustments and operating speed? I assume the engine runs at 3600 at no load and is it 3400 RPM under load?
I have a non-contact tachometer I could use.
Fuel is fresh, but the fuel that was in there smelled a little like varsol. I haven't checked the plug but I did change the oil.
I'm good with small engines but I would like some pointers since this is my first GX390.
