I bought an old gas splitter. The 3.5 HP was smoking so I put on a 6.5 HP. Today I went to split some oak and the splitter crawled(slowly) till it popped the log but it will not reverse. I paid $200.00 for the engine.I want to know how to figure out what is wrong.There are no leaks. I took the cap off the small Hydro resevoir and saw the fluid shooting back down from the high side. Do I need a pump, valve, Cylinder? I dont want to keep buying parts when I dont know why it wont back up or why it is so slow? Any answers are helpful.
