Honda 11hp pressure washer
Hi, I was wondering would anyone have any idea,as to why my honda11 hp pressure washer leaks oil.
The oil leak comes from where the gear box meets the honda motor"not the pump"--When I bought the washer new last May I was very impressed with it--but after a couple of weeks of use I noticed oil leaking from the gearbox.
The machine had a one year warranty-so I took it back--they replaced the oil seal inside the gear box--they showed me the oil seal and how it was slightly worn on one side---which made me think that the drive shaft from the honda motor --was runnig out of line ever so slightly.
The company told me they had never seen this happen before on any other machine,--So off I went--but the same thing happened again--and again.
After three oil seals had been changed--I asked the owner"where do we go from here" I was wasting time and money with this machine--plus it never realy went that well--it went from full power to half power----
Two weeks ago the company which is based just outside" Belfast N. Ireland" were I live--give me a new machine" Honda11hp" this machine works perfectly--except one thing "you got it" it leaks oil at the gear box.
WHY WHY WHY does anyone have any idea why--me thinks it's the drive shaft from the honda motor running off by a 1000th
I keep my machine on a level surface while it's running.
I never drop it
I don't use cheap petrol
I did however switch it off without turning the revs down via the throttle
If the company don't know--WHO KNOWS
