My Karcher does this from time to time, try flushing it out, turn the water on with the output hose disconnected.

It might also be an airlock...not sure how to deal with that though.

Think about what you can do for the club, not what it can do for you...

pulsing update..  problem solved by replacing the little white plastic piece that sits right at the end of the lance as it was split right at the tip and caused a build up of dirt to accumilate, I can only assume that this affected the flow and somehow made the pump pulse.  Any way, life is good now as the karcher is back in tip top working order.
