I hope someone can help... I have a Masport 7 ton electric log splitter. It hasn't been used for a couple of years and has had little use before that. I believe it was working fine when last used. The button which gets pushed in by the fast/slow lever is stuck in which means that when the green motor button is pressed the hydraulic ram is actuated without the lever being touched. When the motor is stopped the spring-loaded ram very slowly moves the splitter back to close to its starting position. I have 'delicately' tried to pull the button back out (I assume it is spring-loaded) but it doesn't want to move. Anyone got any thoughts or suggestions? I attach an image of the recalcitrant part!
