Pressure washer recommendation!!

Big Al1

Been thinking about getting a gas powered pressure washer for use around the house. My main use will probably for cleaning around the pool deck. I've had a gas one before, but since I don't use it often I had a lot of engine problems after a few years, due to the poor quality and ethanol gas being pawned off on us. I've got an electric washer but it no where near the power of a gas washer. Other than the gas issue, I have ethanol free gas available bear by, what moderately priced units (that's right, I said unit) would you all recommend??
I do have a lot attachments left over from my other washer.

Second the Honda motor. Get one with a brass pump, they last lots longer.

That's the way I was leaning. Had a Honda last time but the issue was old/bad gas that ruined the carb!!

Carburators can be rebuilt. I have one with a Honda engine and the carb gave me trouble from the gas too. I found that turning off the gas petcock while the washer is running will drain the float bowl of gas and keep gum and sediments from forming. Also use fuel stabilizer in the gas you keep for the washer. That will help keep the fuel fresh longer.

Pay attention to the volume of water that the pump is rated for, not just the pressure. 4000 psi sounds like a lot, and it is, but it will be slow as heck if it can only deliver that pressure at 1gpm or some such other low flow.

I have a Karcher with a Tecumseh that I have had for about 6 years and it has worked fine for me. I bought it at Menards.
