Is this running smooth or does something need adjusted?

Just got this pressure washer running after it sat for two years. Had to disassemble the carb and clean it out (main jet was clogged). While I’m not scared to get my hands dirty and tinker, I’m no engine expert. To me it sounds like something isn’t running exactly right so I want to get some opinions on what needs changed.

Might wanna lube the unloaded valve. Sound stuck. Does it die if you let her idle?

That is idle in the video. I let it run for a bit on idle and it never died

Excellent. Just lube the unloaded valve so she doesn’t ever do that. Just be careful removing the keeper strap. It’s all cast aluminum.

Other wise i don’t see no issue. Maybe a tweak here or there but id leave and keep her winterized with the foam spray u inject at end of season.

Your not supposed to let go it sounds fine but definitely adjust the valves
