    I got my log splitter carb back on Friday. Ruppie repair did a great job as always . The guy's last name is Ruplinger, but we all call him Ruppie.

    He's always inexpensive but very thorough. He only charged $10 in labor but it's basically a new carb now. All cleaned , New bowl, primer, needle and seat, all gaskets, and new fuel line. I put a new fuel filter on and also cleaned out the fuel tank to ensure there was no gunk in it. PXL_20260221_161804897.jpg

    It started right up, but I'll have to mess with the linkage again. I just increased the idle and split the ash rounds on high idle. No issues but I'll get it set properly. I just wanted to split the wood I had and get it stacked.

    Load 1 ready to haul and stack. PXL_20260221_195628046.jpg

    Load 2 PXL_20260221_221251966.MP.jpg

    There's still a bit left to split, but probably just under another trailer load. I should get this done tomorrow probably.

    I found a YouTube video with the proper linkage settings. Right now on don't have anything to the throttle plate, should be pretty easy to fix now. Screenshot_20260221-170213.png
