I’ve seen some threads and seems lots of different views so just for fun what do you run your splitter engine at!?? Wide open just above idle or do you like swinging the steel yet?!

I hate splitting a knot, usually end up with two ugly pieces!I have been trying some thing a little different with throttle. I have a lever on the hydraulic handle that allows me to change settings easy. I do not believe it is perfect yet. Often I have a pile of split near the front that is in my way so I let it idle for a minute then when I come to a large knot I want full throttle then back to regular operation. Thanks
1/3 throttle, cylinder cycles the same speed as WOT.
Depends on if I have earmuffs with me if i dont not wide open.I’ve seen some threads and seems lots of different views so just for fun what do you run your splitter engine at!?? Wide open just above idle or do you like swinging the steel yet?!
Those motors last a real long time mine is still going 14 years and hundreds of cords!I have a gx390 13hp 22gpm 5x24, run it just above an idle.
Mine was well used in a commercial environment, free from a friend, his boss says wont start toss it,,air filter was plugged, water in gas, dirty ugly and smoked fer a bit ,,I put a new slug and rings and carb on it. Has electric start on it. Probably done 20 cords so far.Those motors last a real long time mine is still going 14 years and hundreds of cords!
