Does anyone know why my log splitter will not go full throttle? It keeps jumping back to half throttle once I let go of it. I’ve had it for a year and a half and this has never happened.
 
What do you mean when you say let go of it? What make of engine and model? Did you buy it completely assembled? If so who built it and what model is it?
No offense but kind of looking for a blue car in Chicago here without any specifics.
 
Does the throttle have a tension nut? I had the same issue with a Subaru motor on my DR Rapidfire. Give it a slight tighten. Check your throttle tension until you find the right amount. Obviously, you must be able to move the throttle, but you want it to by somewhat stiff.
