Anyone rebuilt a pressure washer pump?

My buddy asked me to get his generator and pressure washer running for him. Typical clogged jets from ethanol on 2yr old equipment.
Got them both running, but the pressure washer isn't putting out as much pressure as it should. The pressure coming out is a little more than hooking it up without the motor running.
Hose isn't clogged, pump is turned up all of the way too.
Have any of yall ever attempted to rebuild a small pump like this one? I have only done bigger ones, and had good pumps on my pressure washers, so it hasn't been tough.
It is an Annovi Reverberi if that matters

Not mine so I ain't buying shite. Not even gonna go to the store unless I am bribed with a Sammy's prime rib poboy.
Did you tear them apart and find the failure points? I am figuring it is just seals

No we didn't tear apart. The pumps were only 40 dollars.
The rebuild kit was 25

Check the relief valve

Relief Valve and not to be a dick but make sure your water hose is turned all the way on. Could be an NPSH issue.

Haha, yeah I double-checked that.
The relief valve is the one that cranks up/turns down the pressure?
I haven't taken that part of it apart yet, but the rest looked good as far as I could tell
Replacement pump is $200+.

Hit it with your purse
Posted on 3/19/13 at 8:45 pm to Hammertime
Yep that's it. Can't be too complicated to fix.

I knew that was coming. Did you get your wittle feewings hurt this morning? 
Posted on 3/19/13 at 8:49 pm to Hammertime
Damn right I did. I hit some kid with it on the way to class though and felt better after.

I hear the new style maxi pads are heavy when wet.
Did you even pull that blower?

Hell no man I've been studying non-stop until about an hour ago.

Hammer, I think you know this, but if isn't a Cat or a General, it's considered a throw away.

That's calc 3 right?
Seems like I took that a bazillion years ago.

Yup. All we really do is triple integrals all of the time. The hardest part is figuring out the bounds. My Calculus skills are great, it's just my algebra that needs a little polishing
Eta: A new one is like $250, so it can't be that shitty

Well the pump was pretty clean inside. Couldn't get the relief valve off because it is corroded on there, but am gonna let PB Blaster work on it overnight for me.
After some head scratching, I took the hose apart and blew in it. No air came out of the other end. Son of a bitch is clogged. Might have to bring it to a shop to get blown out tomorrow
