Very cool. Does your gasser have the soap siphon, too? I need to fix the one on mine, it was pretty cool when that was working right.
Yessir. It has two different pickups for chemicals. I just got tired of it being hard to start and running rough. It doesn;t have many hours on it. I had no idea a carb was so cheap!

WOO HOO!

Mine's a 7.5HP Craftsman 3800 psi machine. I don't know who makes it for Sears.

It does have a pressure regulator that allows you to scale back the pressure.

I replaced the gun/wand on mine with one from HD, it is a Rigid, and it came with this big dial tip that has 5 different nozzles including the soap tip. Pretty cool when you want to dial to a lower pressure, etc.

Mine has a CAT pressure pump, it has that pressure regulator dial on it too. I couldn't figure out why it had such low pressure :facepalm: then I turned it up :lol:

I really need to learn to read directions.

You should know that directions should only be read if all else fails.

I have a Homelite unit from HomeDepot. It's 1800psi 1.6gph. I like it. It's pretty small and nice and quiet. It will take care of 85 to 90% of the things I need it to clean.

I have cleaned my vehicles, concrete, garage, and stripped the stain off my fence with it. Handy little unit.

I may be in the market for one. Would it work well for a wooden deck? I don't want to take wood off, but it's got 17 years of no treatment on it :uhoh: :facepalm:

I would think it would work great. Mine also has a detergent cup that you can put cleaners in for wood.
