Most Replaced Parts on the Troy-Bilt 020344
Pump Seal Set for the Troy-Bilt 020344
The pump seal set contains the piston and valve seals that maintain pressure inside the pump cylinders. A seal set cracked from freezing or worn from use allows water to bypass the pistons. Inspect the pump housing for cracks before ordering only the seal set.
Spray Nozzle for the 020344
A nozzle orifice enlarged from wear reduces maximum cleaning pressure. Clean nozzles with the provided cleaning wire rather than a drill bit, which enlarges the orifice permanently.
Unloader Valve for the Troy-Bilt 020344
A stuck-open unloader valve causes the unit to run but produce no pressure at the output. A stuck-closed unloader valve causes the pump to pressure-surge each time the trigger is released.
High-Pressure Hose for the 020344
A hose that is kinked, cracked at the crimp fittings, or has ballooned from internal delamination must be replaced immediately to prevent sudden failure under operating pressure.

Troy-Bilt 020344 Pressure Washer Parts FAQ
What is the Troy-Bilt 020344 pressure washer and how does it differ from the 020245?
The Troy-Bilt 020344 and 020245 are related gas-powered residential pressure washers. Both use a direct-drive triplex pump with a single-cylinder OHV engine. Confirm the specific engine brand and pump model from the unit data label before ordering engine-specific parts such as the carburetor or pump seal set.
Why does my Troy-Bilt 020344 lose pressure during use?
Pressure loss during use is most commonly caused by a worn pump seal set allowing water to bypass the pump pistons, a clogged spray nozzle restricting output flow, or an unloader valve stuck in the bypass position. Inspect and clean the spray nozzle before disassembling the pump.
Why does my Troy-Bilt 020344 leak water from the pump?
Water leaking from the pump body indicates a failed pump seal set or a cracked pump housing. Inspect the pump housing for cracks before ordering only the seal set.
How do I winterize the Troy-Bilt 020344 for storage?
Run pump saver solution through the pump until it exits the discharge outlet. This fills the pump cylinders and seals with antifreeze and lubricant that prevents the pump seals from cracking during storage in freezing temperatures.
