Clean solar panels smell like NOx and gasoline.
Seems ironic...

Increased compression, non-emissions Honda style carb #98 jet, cyclone air cleaner with cover off, ethanol free pump gas (no canned shtt here).
Probably do go-kart style air cleaner, since it's a pressure washer and doesn't make or kick up much dust. Probably try messing with advancing the timing. And make a real exhaust.
The installed cyclone air cleaner cover is choking the engine at high speed.
Must be doing something right, it's keeping a heat range #6 plug nice and clean, it used to foul out #6 heat range ngk, champion #11 plugs, ect. Had to use at least a 5.

Using a pressure washer to clean your solar panels is a smart idea for maintaining their efficiency, but it's crucial to consider potential risks associated with gasoline-powered equipment near your solar setup. Introducing contaminants like NOx and gasoline can affect panel performance, so it's wise to opt for safer cleaning methods.

This is the most illogical nonsense I have read in a while.

What exactly is the purpose of souping up a pressure washer exactly? Are you trying to built a DIY water jet cutter!?!? WTAF
