I have a mi-t-m pressure washer (with a briggs and stratton Intek 206 engine). The washer pump appears to have locked up. Anybody know how the pump connects to the engine? Does it just slide onto the engine shaft or is there a pin/bolt/key that holds it on?

I removed the 4 bolts that bolt the pump to the engine, but it does not slide off. I pried on it a little, but did not want to break anything. Pics attached.

Also, is a locked up pump worth fixing?

Thanks

It is keyed on the shaft. Probably just stuck / rusted on to it. Those pumps are good. A rebuild is possible,
but need to see why it is locked up. Sure its not the motor thats locked?If you pry on it try to keep even pressure bu using two pry bars and use a soft mallet to hit it. Hit at the base of the pressure adjuster. that should get it to move. If it needs a new pump try a company called watercannon.

It is definitely the pump. When I unbolted the pump the motor would turn. I'll get the pump off and tear into it to see what is up. Thanks
