Pressure washer problem

[chrisduffy543]

OK i will try to explain my problem. A spring looking thing broke off of my pressure washer it was located right under the tube part to where the pressure washer hose goes on to the pressure washer at. Any one know what that is called or if it can be fixed?

Yeh, it's an unloader. The whole thing broke off? Did it freeze or get slammed into something?

 

[chrisduffy543]

If anything it froze. The whole thing didnt come off just the spring part and a screw nut that was over the spring it like shot off.

It sounds to me like your machine has a suction tube and it's fitting broke off. If it did, plug the hole.
