Default Karcher k399

I have had this since may and was using it today with my foam lance. It seams to have a fault. It will constantly turn on and off every couple of seconds.

Any ideas anyone?

Sounds like the pump has failed, common enough problem, happened to me twice in the past with units I have owned, should be fixed under warranty by any authorised repairer.

I tried a friends gun on it who has the same model and it works ok. Think it must be the gun then

Odd, from the noise you said it was making I'd have sworn it would have been a pump problem, but maybe it is the gun - just get it into a service agent methinks!
