Zoom on the Ryobi RY803023

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.
The 167cc engine of this gas pressure washer is activated by pulling a starter cord, following a traditional approach.
Containing gasoline, the pressure washer's fuel tank can hold a maximum of 0.25 gallon.
Design & Handling
The Ryobi RY803023's mobility is greatly enhanced by its hand truck design. With its strong steel tubing frame, the assembly is built to last, providing stability and safeguarding internal components, even in challenging environments. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the RY803023 convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
With its 62 lbs weight, this unit offers a manageable size that allows for easy handling by most individuals, enhancing user convenience during operation. That weight is mainly due to the inclusion of the 167cc Honda GCV170 engine and a solid steel tubing frame. Despite this, the RY803023's two 12" never-flat wheels ensure effortless maneuverability.
Main Features
The Ryobi RY803023's package includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, a 5-in-1 nozzle and a detergent injection feature, with a more detailed description below.
- Soap injection: The pressure washer features a removable tank for detergent storage. The Ryobi RY803023 has an automatic soap dilution mechanism, which dilutes the detergent using a 20:1 ratio. Detergent is automatically added to the water when "soap" is selected on the 5-in-1 nozzle.
- Pressure hose: With a set of easy-to-use straps, the unit provides a convenient way to store the included 35 ft ⌀1/4" high-pressure hose when not in use, keeping it organized and readily accessible.
- 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.

User Reviews
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
