typo dern.

I was talking to my dad and he says his pressure washer with a honda 5 used to do this.

I know it must be either it's not getting a spark or it's not getting gas. I can't check for the spark now because I don't have the motor with me, but I doubt that it's not sparking because it's new.

I here tecumseh has carb issues, could this somehow be the carb.

Like i said, sounds like its flooding.

I have had a bad spark plug act this way. I'ts a funny thing because you can get a plug
that's bad right out of the box, or it can quit for no reason at any time. Change the plug
anyways, it's cheap and make sure it's gapped right. Either way I'll bet it's and ignition
problem.

Believe it or not, i agree with him. Once it sits for a little while, take off your air-filter and see if the carb bore is full of gas. The needle seats on these Tecumsehs often give me problems, and yours may be leaking and flooding your engine/clogging your air filter.

This exact thing happened to one i had, it would not start after sitting for a while, unless i removed airfilter and pulled it a few times, then i could put it back on. Culprit was a bad needle seat.
