No power

[CBN]

I have a Porter Cable PCE 1700. Was not used over a year. I did not put antifreeze in it as it was recommended. Now if I start the motor, runs, the water coming slowly if I pull the trigger, but no kick back and power. I live in Florida and the unit was sitting in the garage. What can I do ? Thank You for any help.

Turn the unit over and there will be two valves (bronze color) one is the unloader, the other which is longer and is besides the pulse hose is the "easy start valve" unscrew it and it holds in place a spring which in turn holds down a steel ball, your spring is most likely broken, replace it with a genuine part because it is heavy duty, this should solve your problem.

Pull back on your nozzle, it might be set on low pressure.

pull for high pressure, push for low pressure.

If you pull and no water is coming out it means your nozzle is blocked.
