Why won't my pressure washer start?

I have a Honda GX270 pressure washer which was working amazing. Brand new pump, no issues running great. One day the crankshaft chipped. The pressure washer had been sitting roughly 4-5 months. I changed the oil in the machine and pump, changed the spark plug, put the brand new crankshaft and key in, but its not starting. I have been around pressure washers for a few years but I'm completely lost on what the problem could be. I pull tthe string, you hear things moving but for some reason thats all you hear.

Not sure if sitting so long did something or what. All i know is I need help or pointed in the right direction
Ps Its been in a garage here in Arizona the whole time

Did you check the kill wire.

Do you even know what a CRANKSHAFT is? It's NOT something you change during a spring tune-up!

If you don't have any idea what you're doing, then take the thing to someone who DOES know.

Did the magnet on the flywheel break apart?

  • 2006 Honda Odyssey windshield washer fluid not spraying? Sprayers are not spraying in the front or the rear. One pump runs both ends. I can hear the pump kick on. Pulled a hose off one side of the pump and had someone activate the pump. Pump sprays without the hose hooked up. I don't see any krimped areas in the hose that I can see (front sprayers). Any ideas? Could the pump just be too week to spray through the hoses? Ps I unplugged a hose under the hood and still no fluid.
  • My 1983 Honda nighthawk 650 won't start with the electric start? I recently replaced the ignition coils because the old ones were getting heat soaked and the bike would die, however now the bike won't start with the electric start it turns over fin and the starter sounds fine but it won't start occasionally it ll start when it's cold or try to but I've been having to bump start it in order to ride it. So what's making it do this? Could it be the kill switch? Or something else?

  • I have a Honda HRX217 push mower. Backfired when trying to start it, now it won't start? It was running, then I shut it off to open and close a gate, and when I went to start it again there was a really loud backfire and now it won't start. It will sound like it's almost about to start but not. Then get progressively weaker each pull. I changed the spark plug and cleaned the air filter. Any ideas?
