[AT] Pressure washer

[Len Rugen]

I "rescued" a pressure washer from my FIL, it looked like it had been used very little, parked in a shed then half buried by a ground hog.  It has a vertical Honda engine and after replacing a chewed fuel line and the pressure hose, it worked great.  The  oil was still clear blue :-)
Fast forward about a year, I got it out to use it and it doesn't make pressure, the hose pressure will put water thru the pump, but it doesn't do any more when the engine runs.  It has a plastic housing over the pump and I didn't have time to tear it down.  Any ideas?  I suspect it is a direct mount pump, so I can't imagine any way it's disconnected from the engine.  It hasn't been cold since I used it either!  My high school age son had one of my pumps freeze in the back of his truck during a 15 mile drive, at least that's the story I got :-)
