Oh, I should note that there is no fuel in the floats, gas is fresh (I tend to run the tanks dry when I store the equipment) I'll try the hand choke and see what happens

Biggest thing is to try and bypass the carb normal ops by self choking or using the choke lever to make it suck fuel...usually if they run that way and not with the carb trying to run normal, its a carb issue. If you can keep it running by choking or putting your hand over it, theres mostll ikely internal clogs.

Try some lawn mower forums too.
Goog pressure washer problems or get name brand specific.

If its a year old what about warranty?
Best thing before throwing a carb on it would be get somebody else to give it a look.Could be something you aren't seeing, its hard to TS from here and everyone here has given excellent suggestions but without being there makes it tough.
I'm sure Home Depot has someone contracted for maintenance.
Another thing, they usually stand behind their merchandise, go up and tell them your problems with the unit and how you spent all this good money and so on.They might eat the repair.

It's a little more then a year, when I bought it, It was already repaired by home de pot once before. It was returned then they had it fixed then sold it again... I should speak with them. I know the shop they use so I may stop there too and see what they say.

Sometimes the hand-choking routine will suck out whatever little bit is plugging up the carb, and it will run fine.
