[AT] Need some help, hard starting CR950 Briggs / Ash

[Carl Gogol]

Glad your splitter is back in service!  Surprised you have elm to split.  Elm virtually disappeared in central NY in the early to mid-1960’s thanks to the Dutch elm disease.  Now the Emerald ash Borer has to this point exceeded 90% kill of the ash near Syracuse.  I was lucky to get ours harvested just a week ago.  The Chinese started buying ash again and it has made it practical to now sell.  I was told that among its other uses it is treated to look like Chestnut (I think).

I pulled the starter rope and it started right up... We split about half a trailer load of dead but solid elm blocks. It ran perfectly the whole time.
