2007 Troybuilt power washer

[Rand]

I'm borrowing my dad's 2007 troybuilt 2600psi powerwasher for some cleaning.
I said I'd do all the maintenance on it while I have it.

does anyone have any suggestions beyond a new spark plug, new oil, and pumpsaver when I'm done

I believe it has the honda gc160 engine.

so far, I put castrol edge 5w30 in it.

the manual suggests 5w30 10w30 or straight 30.
It still had the original oil. so i drained it poured about 8 ounces of 5w30 I had in a partial quart to flush out the rest of the silt-y silver oil.. then filled per instructions to top of dipstick hole(on flat surface)
Spark plug looks ok but its sorta corroded where it seats against engine.. I'll put a new one in when im done using it.

Oh and stabil in the gas with full tank or drain for the winter?

I don't drain anything for the winter . I add STABIL and run the eqpt. a couple of times over the winter months . Gives me something to do on those days when it's too cold to do anything constructive outside .

did you change the pump oil? if it`s a one season wonder pump (usually a faip pump) make sure you use synthetic oil in it. that is the only thing that makes those pumps last. if it`s an anovi reverbi,or some other better pump,then use what they recommend.
