I have a gas powered pressure washer. It starts and runs fine... For
about three minutes. Once it gets heated up (my guess) it starts
spitting air and loosing pressure. I have to keep pulling and loosening
the trigger to build up bursts of power to clean my screens. Anything in
particular I should check on the thing??? Anybody else have this issue
with a PW? Thanks in advance, Scotty

Hummm, filled the oil chamber to spec, and put a new (non-leaking)
connector in line, and everything seems to be back to normal. Who'd a
thunk, read the manual works? ;)

Most guys don't know that :-)
OTOH, it depends on the manual. The worst kind don't give you even half
a clue about what to do when everything goes all pear-shaped.
