My pressure washer is electric, but I assume the plumbing is similar. If I
take the wand off, water will flow through the machine and the pump. I
would first remove the tip, being careful to avoid any residual pressure.
Pull the trigger and see what comes out with the supply hose connected.
Then work your way back to the pump.
Also try removing the spark plug and see if it will turn over that way.
