Is it ok to run a Craftsman gas powered pressure washer in the rain?

Just bought a Craftsman pressure washer. Gas powered. Briggs & Stratton engine. I believe it’s a 190cc. Using it on a huge fence and deck. Forecast is for rain for the next few days. Really want to get the job done. Rain doesn’t bother me, but is it bad for the motor?

      it should be fine, if it breaks take it back to sears, they take anything back

      The rain will not hurt it at all just don’t spray water down into the Carburetor and you will be fine.

      The heat produced from the device running is enough to evaporate any moisture it comes in contact with, ie, light rain storm, inadvertant spray.
