My 10 year old Troy-Bilt power washer, bought new in 2005 was used a lot early on then it sat in the garage for a number of years unused. Last year I replaced the pump with an AR as the original FAIP pump no longer worked properly. While the engine ran it was not smooth and smelled of fuel. The engine is a B&S 4.5 HP. I replaced the plastic carb with a replacement plastic B&S carb and it runs so smooth now. The AR pump cost $110 and the carb was $23. This is less than buying a new one with even cheaper made dubious parts. Shop the internet for parts.
