so, I'm using this old pressure washer to clean my driveway after cleaning an engine, and some folks come walking by on the sidewalk - so I let up on the trigger to let them pass unmisted. (here comes the Johnny cash part), and I hear a strange sound from the pressure washer - I look back and at it's rear is a RING OF FIRE.... (yeah, I fell into a burning .... and the circuit breaker blew) - so I figured that was my cue to stop.
I took the thing apart, it was the starter switch that was doing the ring of fire thing - after messing around and cleaning it a little to remove the burned phenolic that was sustaing it arc, it now doesn't do it any more. But (here's where you guys can help), I really feel the urge to get a new pressure washer, so I will give this one (which now works, for a while anyway) to someone who will promise that when it fails it will turn into scrap metal and not go into the dump - if you are such a person, you can contact me below - the unit is on the west side of Los Angeles....
And, if you have a decent washer you want to sell me at a good price, you can also contact me - I can get a new one from Pep Boys for $135, but what the heck....the old one sure made a pretty sight.
metal content - it's made of metal, and it is used to clean metal, and when you scrap it, it is just metal, and ....
