One of my neighbors was giving away the following Craftsman Power Washer:
Model: 580.752342
S/N: 1013704940
Briggs and Stratton 4.5 HP
Model: 10H902
Type: 0113E1
Code: 06040754
She indicated the last time she used it was approximately 10 years ago and only for a few hours. She never did anything after putting it away. The gas has long evaporated and there is oil in the crank case. It would appear she was telling me the truth, the air filter was "clean", plug looked "new".
I have found manuals and parts for getting this up and running. My question relates to what in your opinion should I be doing to start this long stored piece of equipment? The engine - oil, gas, filters, plug (on my list of things to change) - anything else I should be aware of before trying to start?
What about the power washer pump? What should I be doing prior to attaching a hose and using?
Thanks for you help/suggestions on getting this relic useable.
