24x4 cylinder
16gpm pump 2 stage
160cc honda engine
Energy valve with detent
Haldex pump
Hi guys,
Bought this old splitter and it is not building much pressure . New cylinder and engine. I put a pressure guage on the inlet at the top of the cylinder and only get 500psi when running the ram all the way to the plate at the bottom of the splitter and the engine will stall after about 5 seconds. Same results in a peice of 10"oak. I moved the guage to the inlet of the hand valve, on the line from the pump and got the same reading. It acts as if it is not going into stage 2, BUT, when I retracted the ram the guage will spike to 2000psi if I hold the handle and not allow the detent to disengage the valve. I'm at a loss.. could the valve be mounted in reverse and if so can the handle and detent swap ends?
Thanks in advance.
