can I use a pressure washer on stucco?

I know that this can be very helpful information. While you are waiting for your expert answer, I did some research. It is not recommended that you pressure wash stucco. This can cause it to crack. I hope this helps.

Thank you so much. My machine was working so I got on this website to look for a part for my pressure washer. Someone was looking out for me. If I had found the part, I would have washed my house. I'm looking for the cap that goes over the gasoline release valve under the air filter holder. I have a 2004. 2500 psi model. Sears now makes the new ones without the ability to drain the gasoline. Pobably due to this problem. I have the cap, but the gsoline leaked out. Model # 580.752700. The cap I have allows the gas to leak. Perhaps I'm putting the cap on incorrectly. Let me know if anyone has any answers for me. I still can use my machine on my driveway; which will be my next project. Painting my driveway.

I am sending you an image of the carburetor bowl on your engine. I think you are working with the bolt that holds the carburetor bowl on. In the image you can see the bolt uses a washer to seal. Maybe you need to order this washer.

You can see a parts diagram for the engine at Parts Direct The nut in question is item 117. The washer is item 176 and is shown twice. The engine only uses one washer.

Use the model number of the engine, 129602-0113-E1, in the search field.

No. nothing that complicated. It's a cap, on small diameter pipe under air filter that allows you to drain gasoline. With a flat screw driver it can be turned to release he gasoline. I leaks when it's in; there must be a part missing. When I get a chance I'll take it in to the service center. Thanks for the help
