One of the landscapers has a older log splitter. It has a 6.5hp Honda Motor. 3 inch inside diameter cylinder. When the guys are using it , it will stall on large logs. The actual pump looks small. I went out there and looked it over. It had a flat head screw and locknut on the front of the spool valve right next to the handle. I backed the flat head out and it stalled faster. I turn it in quite a bit and now it seems much better for punching through large logs. Just want to double check I adjusted the right end. I didn't have a guage, just did a few trials on large logs.
