Dads pressure washer has been sitting in the shop for about 5 years since the last time it was used. My brother has been working on a couple pressure washers that he has and thought he might as well try to get this one going again. It ran when parked 
but sitting that long the carb got gummed up. Ran the carb through the sonic cleaner and then hit it with glass beads. Painted it black again and my brother put it back together. Installed it today and gave it a try. It now runs again. Now to change the oil in the engine and pump. We were a little worried about the pump because it didn't get winterized the last time it was used but has been in the shop ever since. Seems to still build pressure but we will stick a gauge on it to see how much. Hopefully the pump is still OK.
