Pressure washing the engine compartment...
...before I go and do something stupid...he said just before "Hey hold my beer and watch this!"
Would it be a bad idea to pressure wash the engine compartment and its components? What should be avoided? Anything that should be taped off? It would be nice to work in a clean(er) environment than the accumulated dust that is in there now. Not much grease or gunk though. That's seems to be a good thing. |

I work on lawn mowers and small engines and wash all the time, Castrol Super Clean and a pressure wash works wonders!

Re: Pressure washing the engine compartment...
We pressure wash ours with a hot water pressure washer all of the time and never have had a problem. Spray away.

One thing to be a bit careful about is the micros on the back of the F/R lever,
either stay away from them , or cover them with a plastic bag. I've read where some peoples carts didn't start for days because they got them "too" wet! I hose mine every month, BUT... I stay away from the micro's! Just a heads up! |

Re: Pressure washing the engine compartment...
the only suggestion i would add is to was when the engine is cold. so not to stress crack anything! such as going from hot to cold really quick!
