[QUOTE="Aries, post: 4262892, member: 44328"] I have a Craftsman 3000 psi horizontal pump pressure washer with a problem, if anyone has advice. The model is CMXGWAS020790 and this link might get you to the owners manual if you need more information. [URL]https://bsintek.basco.com/BriggsDocumentDisplay/default.aspx?filename=ngjxCHV_p9ZVj5K1w[/URL] So it hasn't been started since late summer or fall of last year. It was working fine, and I squirted the foam stuff that is supposed to keep it from freezing up through the pump last time I used it. I went to use it today, had the water hose connected and turned on, and air purged out. I removed the oil cap and liquid gushed out that looked like water and oil. Gushed out as in it took a couple or three seconds to get down to the level of the oil fill opening. I did not at any time attempt to start it, I shut the water off and disconnected the hoses, etc. So I'm thinking it has to be a bad seal somewhere on the pump, correct? I haven't taken it apart yet, so I guess it could be a cracked pump but it "shouldn't" have frozen up. I drained the oil, put a half quart of fresh oil in it (all I had) and pulled the cord about 10 times in hopes of coating cylinder walls etc. with fresh oil. But DID NOT start it. Is there anything else I need to do to prevent engine damage? I'll probably know more about what is actually broken when I get around to taking it apart, but right now there's spring football on, and I'm worn out from yard work. :pms2: Advice appreciated.
