So a buddy gave me a splitter that had a 7hp OHV engine that was seized due to rust (been sitting for years). I just picked up a cheaper 9hp OHV engine w/ectric start and wondered what size Cylinder I can match up to this? It has a pump that is belt driven from the motor to a pretty large cylinder now (old) but he mentioned the last time he used it (3years ago) it didnt have much jam anymore...
I'm knew to this whole splitter build thing so what should I be doing with the Cylider? rebuild or new? what tonage can I match up to this new engine? should I be upgrading the pump to a direct drive pump vs belt?
