Looking for a new telescoping wand. I currently have one with the twist locks. On a job the other day, and the piece of crap wand I was using kept collapsing/closing every time the trigger was pressed. Also, the nozzle kept turning. I was frustrated as hell and ready to beat the crap out of the wand. Any recommendations for a telescoping wand or other methods for accessing high areas? I did use a long wand, but found it to be flimsy when attached to my gun. Any advice? Thanks, Mark

Hi, recently purchased a new hot water unit. I have a Honda 20 hp electric start engine that is in good condition. I bought my older unit on 12/31/05. I want to sell the engine, but not sure what a fair price is as it really runs good. Any advice? Or I was thinking of using the engine to make a pressure washer. Anyone ever build their own unit, and willing to share tips, pics, etc.? It would be a good challenge for me. Thanks, Mark

Hi, I have a brand new unit-- pressure pro, 3500psi, 5.5 gpm, 18hp vanguard. Runs good at full pressure; however, when using a larger size orifice to reduce pressure for rinsing or using the variable wand, the pressure fluctuates/engine revs. None of or other units does this. What cold be the problem? Thanks, Mark

I need to remove stains on a white stucco wall that were due to droppings left by squirrels. The squirrels had eaten berries and now there are reddish colored stains on the wall. I tried using bleach, but it did not remove the stain completely. Any advice? Thanks, Mark

Thanks Shawn, I just bougt the unit last week- brand new. Maybe it sat idle at the manufacturer for awhile. Is there a cleaner that I can run through the engine. I am no mechanic. Also, spoke with a rep at the manufacturer who said some crap about the reason this surging occurs is because the engines are being made to comply with EPA/emissions regulations. As a result, this surging may occur due to the modifications. I don't buy it.

Choking it slightly does help. What can be done to fix this? Run a cleaner through the engine? Also, when I turn the unit off, 1-2 sec later the engine pops. What causes this? Thanks, Mark

Hey guys, looking for a portable/hand cart sprayer set up. Looking to spray concrete for rust removal, etc. Anywhere I can buy one? Build one? Shurflo set up. Any pics? Thanks, Mark

My neighbor asked me to clean his shadow box stly fence. I've cleaned and stained many wood fences, but do not have experience with this type of fence. Anyone recommend an efficient process to clean the fence as it doesn't seem possible to get every section of wood? And how much to charge? Recommend a good wood cleaner? Thanks, Mark Coonass now in Florida

Russ, as far as I know the unit was assembled upon my order. I'll check the choke and see what happens. Thanks for everyone's help. I'll update. Mark

Maybe so. I bought the unit brand new on 2/9. I do not know. Thanks, Mark

Russ, can you explain? Never had this happen with any other untis. If choking a little helps, is there a way to fix the problem? Thanks, Mark

Hey gang, just bought a new PP 5.5gpm, 3500psi, 18 hp Vanguard, hot water unit. Maybe I'm stupid, but I am not sure how to hook up a few hoses such as a 5 ft hose running from the unloader. If anyone has a similar type unit and can help out, please call at 850-390-5435. No manual came with the unit. Trying to get unit up before Monday. Thanks, Mark
