Hello,
I need help with my honda gx 390 engine. While pressure washing the engine runs fine for about an hour. Then it stalls out-first only every 20 minutes but it keeps on stalling out until it stalls out every 1-2 minutes. This, obviously makes it impossible to finish a pressure cleaning job. I had a general 4040ez pump on it(it was the pump that came with it). That pump was replaced recently by another general 4040ez pump (about 2 weeks ago). The pump motor ran fine for a few jobs until last week when it started doing what I described above. I just had the engine tuned up a month or two ago-new spark plug, air filter, oil changed regularly. I'm not sure why the engine is stalling out now-it didn't do it before I changed the pump. I again check the air fiilter, spark plug and made sure that the hoses had no kinks in them. I am really at a loss as to what could be the problem. The engine seems to run fine when its actually running!
I would really appreciate your help in finding out just what may be the problem is!
Thank you,
Chris
