- spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces, reaching high areas, and removing stubborn stains

Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
The Ryobi RY803023
Its axial cam pump, which utilizes the brand new, specially built for pressure washers, Honda GCV170 (opens in a new tab) engine, may deliver a pressure of up to 3100 PSI (almost 52 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.3 GPM. Corresponding to these values is a cleaning power of 7130 Cleaning Units.
For this gas-powered pressure washer, the 167cc engine is started using a time-tested pull-start mechanism.
The pressure washer's tank has a maximum capacity of 0.25 gallon for storing gasoline..
Design & Handling
The Ryobi RY803023 is very mobile, due to its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D21 x W21 x H39 in. Guaranteeing longevity, the robust steel tubing frame offers stability and protects internal components, even when subjected to demanding tasks. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the RY803023 convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
With a weight of 62 lbs, this unit is designed for ease of maneuverability, catering to a wide range of users. The incorporation of the 167cc Honda GCV170 engine and a durable steel tubing frame contribute considerably to its overall weight. Even so, the RY803023's two 12" never-flat wheels maintain easy maneuverability.
Main Features
The Ryobi RY803023 comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, a 5-in-1 nozzle and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.
- Soap injection: Detergent storage is facilitated by the inclusion of a removable tank. With its automatic soap dilution mechanism, the Ryobi RY803023 simplifies the process of blending detergent to the prescribed ratio of 20:1. Detergent is automatically added to the water when "soap" is selected on the 5-in-1 nozzle.
- Pressure hose: For easy organization, the included 35 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose can be stored on the unit using a set of easy-to-use straps when it's not in use, ensuring a clutter-free workspace.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook allows for an easy storage of the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.
- Nozzle: a 5-in-1 nozzle is included.
Ryobi's 5-in-1 nozzle offers five spray pattern settings (0°, 25°, 40°, short-range soap, long-range soap). Selection of a specific spray pattern is made by simply rotating the spray selector to the desired setting.
Other Features
Some of the included accessories
- Onboard storage: With the Ryobi RY803023's handy storage area, you’ll always have all the necessary nozzles and accessories at hand and thus, you’ll be fully prepared for any job.
- Safety: Safety of operation is enhanced by a thermal relief valve (which helps to prevent internal pump damage) and a trigger lock mechanism (which prevents accidental operation).
- Accessories: Besides the usual owner's manual (opens in a new tab) and documentation to get you promptly started, the Ryobi RY803023 comes with oil, wand, spray gun and pressure hose.

The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how the key specs of the Ryobi RY803023 compare to similarly priced pressure washers.
- Featuring a maximum pressure of 3100 PSI, the Ryobi RY803023 finds itself in the projected pressure range for gas-powered units priced from $300 to $400. If your priority is the highest possible power of the water stream, in this price range, we suggest checking out the Simpson CM61083, which reaches up to 3400 PSI.
- When contrasted with devices in the aforementioned price bracket, this washer and its 2.3 GPM lie at the lower range of attainable water flow. In case you are looking for a device which can most efficiently rinse away debris in the current price range, the Predator 3200 has the highest GPM of 2.8.
- The RY803023's Cleaning Units, 7130 CU (PSI X GPM), fall into the lower end when compared to gas-powered devices of similar price. In case you are looking for the highest overall cleaning power, in this price range, one of the current champions is the WEN PW3400 and its 9180 Cleaning Units.

I bought a RYOBI RY803023 – 3100 PSI 2.3 GPM GAS PRESSURE WASHER WITH HONDA ENGINE from the Home Depot. I used twice and now it won’t start. I did all my troubleshooting and everything seems okay with the exception of the ignition coil. I even replaced the spark plug. It’s only been less than 2 years. I’m trying to order an ignition coil online but not sure of the specs of the coil. Can you provide me the specs of the ignition coil so I can order the right one.
Thank You
