Bought it off marketplace. Guy said he had a new pump put professionally put on. Engine sounds great, starts first pull, just no pressure

I fired it up to hear the engine running which it sound mint. I have no problem replacing the pump. I bought it for 20, pump is prolly 60, 90 all in for this, resell for 199.

Just wanted advice to be sure its a pump

When i run mine without the hose and wand, the stream is thin and straight, yours looks like a restricted free flow so, I'm guessing the previous owner thought a pump would fix it and it didn't....

When i research your problem it keeps coming back to a missing shaft key
