I have a Kholer 25Ton 6.5hp Log Splitter. Bought it new a little over a year ago. I used it just yesterday and ran as it always does. Super easy to start (usually on the first pull) and I shut it down after working, so it's not like it 'quit' working. I got a hair up my butt and decided to split a little more last night and went to pull the cord and noticed it was super hard to pull and didn't sound right. Ultimately, I never got it started. I pulled off the pull cord cover and it pulls freely (couldn't be something that simple afterall). Pulled out the spark plug (which I tested and it is getting spark), sprayed a little WD-40 in there and
sprayed a little starter fluid into the carb and there was no change in the pull (still hard). I'm not a mechanic by no means. I use words like "thingy" so bare with me if I don't sound like I know what i'm taking about. I did manage to rebuild the carburetor on my Bolens MTD lawn tractor. Not too shabby for a 48 yr old female. I just need a starting point in what i'm looking for. I just can't believe it literally worked like a champ one minute and 2 hours later it's ready for the scrap metal yard.
