QuestionI have Ex-cell pressure Washer model XR-2500 which use Honda GC- 190 engine. It was working fine and suddenly stopped. I added more fuel and tried to start again but starter rope would not pull, I removed spark plug but still can't pull the starter rope. I think engine cylinder is stuck or jammed. I tried by removing water hose to release pressure. Please help. Thanks.
AnswerHI ARUN
CHECK THE OIL LEVEL IN ENGINE ? IF VERY VERY LOW MAY HAVE SIEZED ENGINE ?
REMOVE STARTER ASSY AND STARTER COVER, CHECK NOTHING OBSTRUCTING FLYWHEEL
SEE IF ENGINE CAN ROTATE WITH P/START OFF AND NO WATER FLOWING INTO PUMP IF ROTATES OK WITH STARTER OFF - STARTER IS CAUSING PROBLEM ?
IF CANNOT ROTATE ENGINE REMOVE OHC CAMSHAFT COVER AND CHECK THAT A VALVE HAS NOT STUCK OPEN OR HAS SIEZED
IF NEED TO REMOVE WATER PRESSURE PUMP ASSY FROM OUTPUT SHAFT AND RECHECK FOR ROTATION
IF CANNOT TURN ENGINE OVER AFTER THESE CHECKS HIGHLY POSSIBLE THAT YOU HAVE SIEZED ENGINE DUE TO INSUFFICIENT OIL OR NO OIL
SORRY
