One however can be a frustrating one for machine owners. This pressure washer had a stuck pull rope. If it does pull it a few times and see if there is any oil or gas blowing out of the spark plug hole. Remove the spark plug and then pull the starter rope to see if the engine spins.

If the starter rope won t budge when you try to pull it the engine may be locked up or the recoil starter may have failed. If you cannot pull the starter rope out i recommend pulling the trigger on the wand first. If that s the case remove the spark plug and see if it will pull all the way out as it should.
