I bought a Simpson 3100 psi with a GC190 engine 5 years ago. Been a great unit, except that Honda takes 7 pulls to start if it sat longer than a week and blows a cloud of smoke. 2 years ago I inherited a brand new in box 212cc predator engine and put it on the pressure washer. Can sit for 2 months now and fire up first pull. Runs smoother, holds more fuel and uses less fuel too. I used to use my brothers older Kartcher with the same GC190 engine and that one started way easier and didn't have a governor bounce problem whenever I'd let off the trigger. Disappointed in the GC190 that came with mine. It just sits in the shed now. I've worked on a lot of pressure washers and my two favorite pump brands are CAT and AR. Knowing what I know now I'd just build my own pressure washer if I were to do it over.
I've serviced a business owners GX270,340 and 390 powered pressure washers that the guy did nothing to including NO oil changes for 10-15 years and they still run great. So, there's that. Myself I'd find an old 8-10HP B&S to build a pressure washer with ideally, for my own personal use. Why? well the sound, smell, brute simplicity and those engines never failed me.
