I recently bought a log splitter for about $200,
and also just finished rebuilding the carb.
Now that i got it running,tried to split some wood. The engine shuts off when i operate the lever for the hydraulic. Does anyone know why or what would cause this. please fell free to email me. Thanks

Make sure you're not pushing the valve handle "halfway" or partially. If you do this the valve position can cause a "deadhead" on the hydraulics and stall the engine. Other possibilities--a clogged return filter, a stuck cylinder (not likely). The fuel mixture setting as mentioned by Uncle Tom is also a possible cause. Our log splitter will sputter a little if the fuel mixture isn't set "just right". Last thing to check--disconnect the fuel line at the carb and make sure you have good flow into a jar or something. Our tank had lots of trash in it since it sat outside for years before we got it--had to clean the tank and the fuel valve/bowl assembly. We also installed an inline filter in the line between the tank and the carb.

Try opening up(screwing out) the main jet needle alittle bit 1/8 turn at a time till it will work under load. Sounds like it is lean to me.

Can anyone out there tell me why my hydrolic splitter spews forth hyd. fluid from the little hole in the cap/nut of the fluid tank/container/receptacle? Any help appreciated.
