What happens here

To start a gas-engine Hotsy pressure washer (specifically a Briggs & Stratton Vanguard engine), first, ensure the fuel stop is in the 'on' position. Then, set the throttle to full. While squeezing the trigger on the wand to relieve pressure, start the engine. This makes it easier on the cranking mechanism and helps the engine start smoothly.

Goal: Properly start a gas-engine driven pressure washer.

so the startup procedure on our gas engines is on the Briggs vanguards they have actually a gas stop built into the throttle um a lot of the other like Honda that we that used to be on our units a lot would always have a separate switch well the problem is if you put in the back of a truck and drive your float and your carburetor is bouncing it's loading this you know the cylinder up with gas then oh okay so Vanguard designed it too so it's only just a stop built in okay so so you got your on off for your fuel stop yep so we're all the way full throttle [Applause] River while you squeeze the trigger so you don't have pressure built up in the knife it's easier on Yeah by squeezing the trigger it's easier on the cranking okay of the machine got it yep okay now
