Additional information
This pressure washer pump, part number 317142GS, mounts to the engine and draws water from the supply hose, then increases pressure for cleaning applications through the high-pressure hose and wand.
If the unit produces little or no pressure, leaks water from the pump housing, or makes unusual noise during operation, the pump may be worn or damaged. Visible cracks, seal leaks, or inconsistent spray output are common indicators.
Disconnect the spark plug wire on gas models or unplug electric models before starting the repair. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure, then disconnect hoses and remove mounting bolts carefully. Install the replacement pump securely and tighten all connections before restoring power and water supply.
Pressure washer pump 317142GS replaces part number 311882GS.
