You just saved me $200! I had this exact same issue. I always make sure to clean the whole system really well so I was perplexed as to why it wouldn't work after I used it a year ago. Unfortunately, just adding oil didn't work for me (no air bubbles and the level didn't drop over time). So, I put a piece of plastic sheeting over the inlet hole and zip-tied it on tight so that it would hold pressure. Then I put the spring and ball-bearing back in and screwed the piece back on. The process of screwing it on created pressure and since the inlet hole was covered the oil was forced into the pump. As soon as I flipped it to prime it shot the oil out of the outlet port and I knew I was back in business. I had actually already purchased a replacement one and this was my last ditch attempt before opening it up. Thank you!

I've been using mine for staining a LOT of a large fence. Got about 10 hours on it already. Agree with the change of tip size. The absolute key to any sprayer using soap and water for cleanup is to make sure not to store it with water anywhere in the system. The 'recommended' Grayco Pump Armor is NOT necessary. Instead, use any kind of automotive anti-freeze. It's cheap and coats all the parts inside with an anti corrosive. Mix it down to 50/50 if you want. After hose is clear from cleanup, disconnect that and the gun. Prime with anti-freeze then switch to spray. As soon as you see it coming out, shut it down. That's it. Also recommend taking the gun completely apart - clean really good with soap and water. Let it dry or force compressed air thru all parts of the gun. As you put it back together, I use WD-40 and squirt it everywhere -- inside, all parts, tip, spray needle, screen filter, trigger - everywhere. Then store in a Ziploc bag with a final spray of WD-40 and seal the bag. And, yes, this is a good sprayer for the price -- I've had zero issues with mine. When I'm done with it (even for just a couple of days) I'll 'pickle' it as above. All hoses look brand new after each use -- takes less than an hour to fully clean it for short or long term storage.

whats the model replacement internal filter for the spray gun? I found an older graco 288749 that looks exactly like it with a spring and white color tip on one end and blue on the other end, but then it seems it has been replaced by a new design w/o the spring and has blue color tips on both ends. i also heard the screen is for latex paints so can i remove the filter for water base paints even tho i prescreen my paint before it enters the pump?

I have been using Titans since 1990. Do not use antifreeze, nor crap Graco sells. Instead, store with any petroleum based oil, and you will not have problems. Often, overnight, best to just keep it in the paint rather than to rinse with water. But the trick is to store with oil, at least in the pump part. Be sure to flush with water before dropping it in paint again. .... Cleaning gun filter will not affect pump performance, just reduce the necessary psi and reduce tip clogs, which is irrelevant to this video.

So I've only used this pressure washer one time. kzitem.infoUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP The one time I used it, it worked great. I recently had new siding installed but kept the old gutters and small areas surrounding my house that weren't replaced so they looked horrible and dirty because of the new siding. I needed to get it cleaned asap. When I used the pressure washer, man it just melted all the dirt and grime that was on those areas of my house. I used that krud kutter soap and it was over after that. Easy to assemble, feels durable, very simple to use. Also, I purchased a used one to save money and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. I want to get more use out of it so I think I'll be washing the cars and update this comment as time goes on.
