We've got a Lifan 190FD 15 hp engine on a no name splitter. Was splitting wood the other day when it started to sputter a bit. I figured it was just low on fuel and shut it down before it shut off itself. Well it wasn't out of fuel, I pulled the rope and she pulled pretty hard. I pulled the plug and pulled off the pump mount and it seemed to spin freely. I could spin the pump itself by hand as well. I've started it back up few times since then and it seems ok at higher rpms, and under load but lower rpms and it's erratic as all get out. I don't know much about these little 4 strokes so I don't know what could be wrong, haven't torn into it much yet because I haven't had a chance to get it in the garage. Any help is appreciated.
