Pic of a stubby gun with Karcher adapter.

Anyone use a stubby gun on their Karcher power hose ? We got one but it's pissing water out of where it clips in. Wondering if there's a slight difference and they've sent the wrong adapter. It clips in fine.

Have you dismantled the stubby gun, to inspect the rubber washer around the steel end piece attached to the hose.
Its more than likely perished. Can be purchased via Amazon

The brass bit that clicks in to the adapter? The rubber looks OK, and it doesn't leak the the normal plastic Karcher gun.

O ring on the hose side. Usually give trouble doesn't take much to upset them. I got cleantec to send me out a load a few years back.

I have a wee assortment of
o-rings, I'll fire one on to try (even if they're not the right thing it might let me know if that's the issue)

Is it a quick release one or the fat k adapter?

I'd start with the o ring I know when my gave trouble there was a small slice into it not even a tear and it leaked

Can you stick your snowfoam gun in that or do you have to just use your normal handle?

Snowfoam works, you just swap out the adapter on your foam bottle to the quick release type like the different jet nozzles. Means you can't chop and change though.

I just swap to the normal lance

@CharlySkunkWeed i had the same problem and it was because there was a fracture in the metal part of the adapter. (Brand new adapter). From memory the fracture couldn’t really be seen until the outer plastic was removed.

Hopefully not, but I'll keep that in mind.

No it was bought from Autobrite, they include whatever adapter you select in the kit.
