How to Remove the Pump From a Honda Pressure Washer Engine

In addition to manufacturing cars and motorcycles, Honda also makes small gas engines used in several brands of pressure washers, including Craftsman and Karcher pressure washers. The pressure washer pump is a mechanical part that pumps water fed through the cleaning tanks and out of the pressure hose. If your pressure washer does not seem to be cycling, or if you have difficulty getting pressure, it may mean it is time to have the pump serviced. You can remove the pump to have it serviced.
