simpson pressure washer wont start

hey everybody Joe here flight 7 so I bought this Simpson pressure washer and I want to try and say somebody a little aggravation of on two accounts okay when you first get this pressure washer you have to go through several steps okay on top of the gas tank located here there's a sticker that says no oil you know okay comes in this as its shipped and the oil does come with it put the oil in you're good to go get rid of that sticker then there is your pump over there right there as a plug it's as oil you have to unscrew a aluminum unplug and install this sorry about that install this plastic vent cap that says oil on there is an oil in here for this and it's it's just usual just I just got it going it's warm right now now per the instructions in the manual I'm gonna zoom in a little bit here okay so I'm just gonna turn this back over here I'm gonna put this back gate back here and it does say this in the instructions this isn't the tricky part that I've been doing this video for and I guess if I would have looked at this sticker down here I wouldn't have had such a problem so I wound up actually I had 30 day old gas that I had put in here in this tank and you know what it didn't start and it may have been because I thought that this lever in this position was off but it is as you can see it's the maximum for the motor push it all the way to the left to the right you push it to the right like that and that is your slow turtle so when it said push it a third actually I was about over here so that really shouldn't have mattered but okay so I put it back down to the turtle and bring up just a little but this is your fuel and you can see the eros is this way your fuel goes on there you go push it over to the right and then this is full choke position right here all the way to the left to the left full choke when you when the motor starts kicking over and then starts coughing you slowly move it all the way over here to where it lines up with your fuel on lever okay and that's choke off that's full choke that's choke off this is full throttle that's you know barely any throttle okay so I changed the gas and figured that out and it started and it's running there was a little bit of smoking I got this because of the Honda engine I was about to get real torqued out of shape but you know it just took a little couple doing a couple things and and she's going now so so far I really haven't had a chance to use it that much but it did fire off it is running and I just wanted to save somebody else some trouble so if you have gas that's a month old do yourself a favor dump it in your car your truck you know after you fill it up almost all the way it won't matter and put fresh high-test gas in this thing you know run height test gas in these small engines would say I mean that's my personal opinion because it does also say you know you can't use any more than ten percent ethanol in these more engines and almost all gasps now has ten percent ethanol and something about five something about five percent methanol I don't know anything about myth so I know hey guys hope that helps a couple of you people cuz I was about to flip my wig or something alright have a good day kind of good luck and happy pressure cleaning
