I have a Huskee 35 ton log splitter with a 12/5 hp B/S engine. The thing is a beast that no log has proven to be to tough. The one problem (other then it is loud to run) is that it has an incredible kickback when using the pull cord on every third or forth pull of the cord. Enough to rip the fingers off a hand. I actually have to replace the cord and assembly along with the two plastic spring loaded pieces that kick out to turn over the engine when pulled.
Has anyone else had this problem?? any cure?? it seems the engine needs a compression release (...or an electric starter) I do make sure the lever to activate the plunger is not engaged....
