I bought a used 25 ton Huskee/Speeco log splitter a few weeks ago and today finally got around to using it for the first time. It has the 6.5hp, Honda CGV motor. The previous owner said it was only used a couple of times. It is in very nice condition, so I do believe him. My problem is every time I get into a big (12+" diam.) piece of wood, it stalls. It also stalls every time it really has to labor like when you hit a knot. Its very frustrating! The previous owner said he tore apart the carb and cleaned it 2 months before I bought it. I'm wondering if he didn't put something back together right. I should probably add that after it stalls, the only way to start it again is with the choke on until it pops, but doesn't fire, then put the throttle lever to run and pull it over.
Thanks for any help!
