    Troybuilt pressure washer smokes, just added oil
    My Troybuilt 3000 psi pressure washer smokes when I run the pressure washer. I just added a little oil. Can I run it safely, will it eventually quit smoking. It's a new machine.

    You say it is a new machine ? Did you just drive home with it, did you perhaps lay it over when you brought it home

    Didn't it come already properly filled with oil? Sounds like you over filled it.
