Some larger engines have a compression relief valve till it fires up, if your's has one, it might be stuck closed.

Rattle your controller arm, it is engaging the pump. When was the last time you changed your hydroligic filter there could be water in the line, or frost on the little control arm area change the filter every two years and the splitter is in my garage temps way above freezing

I have a log splitter problem as well. My left shoulder hurts. Some bio freeze and a Tylenol or 3 should fix mine though.

I have an Armstrong splitter, 1964 model. It works for a half hour or so, then it runs out of gas, and won't usually restart until the next day. I service it each time I put it away with a cold beer and 2 ibuprofens. Good one, I like it.

Nothing beats a good Hydraulic splitter for large amounts. But sometimes you just have to crack a few, or in my case crack some in half out back just to pick them up. I have been using a Fiskars splitting maul for several years now. About $50.00, lifetime warrantee. I have never split wood by hand with anything better. All the young buck wood tics around here use them. That and a pickaroon save a lot of your back.
you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

My kick-start log splitters moved out when they turned 18.

Scuba I would recommend a little Tennessee burbon halfway through the day to keep your log splitter oiled properly .lol Tried that but then i don't know which one of the two logs to hit. It gets mighty confusing after a couple of pints.
