Hi Farmer,<br>
Just a thought, my log splitter was hard to start in cold weather,
until I changed the hydraulic fluid from the OEM fluid to
transmission fluid,a whole world of difference.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi farmer: I'd have to think you've already been
down this road, but, I'll say for the record that I've had
pretty decent luck downloading manuals from the Briggs site.
But I haven't done it lately, and it's always 20-year old stuff
when I do. The other thing I'll mention is the good old unlit
propane torch in the intake trick. That's my go-to when they're
almost trying to start. There's spark and fuel but the modern
carburetors are set lean for emissions and it just seems that
the choke doesn't quite get the mixture rich enough.

<div>We have a log splitter a couple of years old that has a
OHV CR950 Briggs. It only has a few hours on it but has
become quite hard to start (recoil start). It is way too
recent for my knowledge base... It seems that most things
are these days. Apparently the OHV Brigg's have a cam bump
"compression relief" I also understand that there is an
important valve adjustment procedure that can normally
improve starting problems. We can't find a site that gives
a clear and understandable explanation of the procedure.</div>
<div>Does anyone know of a site with a clear description of
how to do it? It will usually start if it is sitting in
the sun and the temp is at least 50... Yesterday at 45
degrees it "ALMOST" started 837 times... It keeps firing
enough to keep you trying and trying...<br>
