Where, in Tulsa, to get a replacement pump for a pressure washer?

[nemesis]

Two questions.

My Ryobi pressure washer (purchased from Home Depot 1/1/2020) pump gave out.

Pump #308653093.

I can't find anybody locally who stocks such an animal. I called Northern Tool, but no luck.

First question: where might one find this locally (Tulsa)?

Second: if I have to order it, Amazon has two different pumps that work with that model number. One is OEM Homelite/Ryobi for $150. The other is Yamatik for half that. Yeah, you get what you pay for and all, but.................?

Thanks.

Just run a search on the part number. Find someone that actually has it in stock, and get it ordered.

I've recently had occasion to order several parts for a zero turn mower, and the trick is finding something in stock.

Don't quibble about a few bucks, just get it while you can

EBAY has a ton of them.

Most if not all(including yours) are Made in China. The only difference in the OEM is the crazy markup as it goes through all of the distribution channels.

I ordered it off Amazon. Numbers matched and all. The part arrived in short order but the bolt pattern was different.

To Amazon's credit, they gave me free return labels, etc, and as soon as it was logged into the UPS database as in route, they refunded my money.

Thanks for that info. I never even knew HD had such parts availability. I ordered the pump (after I ordered one from Amazon, they shipped the wrong pump, I returned it, etc) and fired it up yesterday. Works fine. thanx

Oh crap. I hate it when that happens.

As an aside, throughout all of this, I researched the issue. One mistake I made with the old pump was not clearing the water hose line completely of air pockets before firing up the engine. After removing the old pump and installing the new pump, I realized there is no clutch between the engine and the pump. As soon as the engine is running, the pump is operating, water or no.

Before I fired up the new pump, I followed Harry Homeowner's (a youtuber) suggestion to first run water through the wand until a steady stream appears. Yep. The water flowed, didn't flow, flowed............ That's bad for the pump. Shouldn't have ruined it that quickly, but still.....

Turn your water on all the way too. A starving water pump will die just as quickly as your unprimed pump.
