AnswerDarrell
When pressure washers run like that there are a few possible things that could be wrong.
The pressure regulator is set wrong
The pump is going bad.
Since this is a new pump try adjusting the reg so that it runs when the trigger is off and speeds up when you push the trigger. IT is a hit and miss adjustment.
