Problem: Engine won't start
Equipment: B&S Quantum 675 engine on 22 ton TSC Huskee log splitter
Well, I spent the whole afternoon trying to start my log splitter - no success. Finally got some time to try to split some logs I left unsplit last winter. Brand new splitter - bought in February and only used it several times over 2 months. Haven't started it since April, but always mixed fuel stabilizer/ethanol treatment and ran all the gas out before storing it under shelter for summer. Now, no start at all.
Anybody have any ideas? I read many of the threads on wood splitters, but didn't find this exact problem. Here's what I did so far...
- checked the oil and hydraulic oil,
- added new gas
- turned throttle to fast speed and pushed the primer bulb 3 times
- pulled the rope several times and repeated
- checked the spark plug and tested that I was getting a spark
- removed and inspected the air filter
- removed the fuel filter and tested that gas was making it this far
- shot one second of started fluid into air intake, replaced air filter and did get one second of run, then died. Repeated this.
- tried to flood it with primer bulb, just to see if I was getting fuel, but spark plug looked dry, and no strong gas smell.
Thanks for any ideas.
