I bought a Craftsman Professional Pressure washer with the Briggs 900 series OHV engine and you have to run it with the choke on one notch or it lean surges and hunts the governor continuously. It's not cold outside. Carb appears to be non adjustable fixed jet. Great. I made a point of not buying a Honda powered unit and I am now paying the price. I don't want the hastle of taking it back to Sears. Do I get out the wire drills and go from there? Anyone else had this issue. Thanks EPA for mandating non adjustable carbs that are never right. I can't imagine the engine life is going to be very long if it runs under load in a lean condition.
