Pressure washer help

I've got a 4hp Honda GC pressure washer. Yesterday it was getting worse and worse all day and now it barley has any pressure at all. When I first pull the trigger it gets full pressure for a split second then drops off to almost none.
I have a feeling somethings is stuck or clogged but not sure where to start looking or what to take apart. Any ideas?

Make sure you've got oil in the pressure pump. Then remove the tip and run some water through it and into a filter or bucket so you can check for debris. Also check the back side of the tip. If you see little plastic or rubber pieces come out of the hose, you'll need to rebuild the pump.

Sounds like your starting to get a cracked seat... in your "over-pressurizing" pump circuit. Who's the manufacture of the pump?
