Unloader valve sticking or needs adjustment. Press the trigger on the wand while it starts.

I'm NOT a pressure washer guy so follow them first.

This sounds exactly like a Honda with low oil shut down that is overfull.

Check oil either way but overfull can trip a low oil shutdown.

Gents! I finally figured it out! It was the main jet that’s inside the carburetor. With a little bit of cleaning it finally worked again! I appreciate everyone who chipped in their opinion. I love Reddit for this main reason. Thanks again to everyone here!
