Neighbor brought me a TB PW to fix. I know nothing about these pumps. Engine is Briggs 11P702 dated 2013. I can't find a model # on PW.
I first disassembled and cleaned carb in the USC but it looked good inside. Doubt I needed to do it.
Symptoms - Engine starts and runs for 1 sec. Then rope is hard to pull - crankshaft has a big load on it. So, I'm thinking unloader isn't unloading water pressure.
I have pump bolts soaking in PBlaster to try to get pump off. MTD is cheap - they have 1 bolt (x3) to hold engine-thru frame-to pump.
Unloader valve doen't look like any I saw on youtube. The plunger is big and fat vs skinny little ones in videos. Plunger can't expand outward ward any when installed.
Is this as simple as remove nut and back red pianted screw out so plunger has some travel space? Thanks, Doug
