The rough-n-ready figure is 1 HP/GPM @100PSI. This is for an electric motor, a whole lot more efficient than a gas engine. Without knowing the size of your ram and, more particularly, the size of the hi-pressure pump, it's difficult to say. At a guess, if you're using a 4" ram, probably not. If, when you try it, the engine stalls when you start splitting, you might be able to put a flow control or even a needle valve in the line going to the back of the cylinder. This will slow down the splitting action considerably, but may allow your small engine to handle the job. Flow control would be better than a needle valve because the needle valve will cause your retract stroke to be slow. If you post more information, such as cylinder size, maybe someone can give you better information. DickTN
