Owner of a 2600 pressure washer, 020208. It quit pumping. I finally pulled pump and ordered a replacement. Then I couldn't find the spline key that holds pump mechanism to engine shaft.
I had a hunch and disassembled pump to find the key inside the pump. The key had slid till it scoured against the seal. Finally the key got caught and punched through the seal, which killed the pump. An obvious engineering defect that should have obviated the problem. Now I look into the new pump just acquired, and the same danger is still extant. The key could move toward the seal, and nothing to inhibit it from working its way into rubbing against seal.
There is even a slot cut in ring which would enable key to get lodged in there, since the key
spline does not fit tight as a key should. The old key had a 45 degree angle and burrs on it as it had scoured against seal for a long time till very sharp edge punched through seal.
What's needed here for a compensatory fix, is a key not precisely 3/16x3/16 but larger on one
end, so it will tighten between shaft and collar of pump. May have to file a bar to fit right. If anyone from Troy built reads this, please forward to engineering. I can send the parts if they want to see what happened.
