Not running - Huskee 22 Ton Logsplitter help!

[sundance]

Please elaborate on the whole flywheel thing in detail ?

I think she concluded it was the recoil starter not the flywheel.

Oh !

Oh !

Get with the program man! .
I want to see pictures of it, there were quite a few versions of this particular model.

I pulled the cord to start it and felt it not “catch” correctly. When I pulled the starter recoil off, one of the plastic pieces which “catches” the nut to spin the flywheel had come off. A part of the plastic “tower” it sits on had broken off. So replaced that recoil starter with a new one.

Ignore my previous post. Wish we could delete!! Ugh!

hf has some verticle shaft units also.

I saw nothing wrong, and you can delete posts, I believe.

"First pull the flywheel broke. Bought and installed a new one."

Yeah, but you gotta read the rest of the posts man .

"First pull the flywheel broke. Bought and installed a new one."

The OP already said she made a mistake when she termed it this way and corrected it to the recoil starter.

 

[chipper1]

Is it fixed .
How much damage did you get from the storm @newcountrygirl

My logsplitter was running up until this past spring. Then it would start and then stall. Couldn’t get it to run. So I checked and cleaned the carb, checked the fuel line, air filter, checked gas tank for gunk (cleaned that as well), changed the oil, changed the spark plug. Wasn’t getting enough compression, so I checked the piston, rings, cylinder, valves and push rods, rocker arms. Checked armature & coil, timing and oil slinger, replaced all gaskets. Everything else looked good. First pull the flywheel broke. Bought and installed a new one.
Theoretically, it should start. Tried starting fluid, and the most I could get was one backfire, and another time a couple of “pops”. I didn’t try to start it in between the things I checked/worked on. Any suggestions on what to check next?

From the above post, it appears that you completely disassembled the engine. A lot of work.

If it were mine, I would replace the engine with a new one. Not a used one. The only thing you need to be certain of is the crankshaft length, diameter, straight or tapered. They make all different types of the 675 for different applications. Would beat spending $1000+ for a whole new splitter. JMHO

[sand sock]

i wonder if you have bark stuck in the choke and throttle spring linkage .

here is a link to teh small engine warehouse. measure yourshaft and maybe the key and see what you can find that fits. https://www.smallenginewarehouse.com/engines

make sure the gap at the coil is 10 thousandths on both ears when the magnet on the flywheel is aligned - a paper business card works well

Maybe I've missed it, but have you checked the low oil sensor as @Aknutter suggested?
I had one act up on a pressure washer that had the correct oil level. Bypassed it and ran fine.

 

[grizz55chev]

Ot sure that engine has a low oil shut down, it's a vertical, and I'm not up on them, almost all the newr horizontal do?

Not sure about the clones, the Honda horizontals all had them on the ones I've had/have.

I had that on a 5.5 Honda dual tank air compressor, bypassed it and we were off to the races. That thing was a beast, two pulls and it was running even in the dead of winter.

If it dont have any spark than disconnect the low oil sensor wire.

I have a briggs generator that I did this to,worked like a charm! The sensor only costs $10, a common fail, and it's on order!

 

[Aknutter]

Was wondering if you got it running?
What was the fix ?
