Hello, I am trying to fix my log splitter and I am at a loss for ideas. Could someone please point me in the right direction. My problem is that I keep foaming out my vent and barely can make the cylinder move, it seems as if there is no pressure being made. There is no tag on the pump but it looks like a standard 2 stage pump, the first thing I did was switch the control valve with one that I knew for fa t works fine and that didn't help so I noticed some varnish/slime/gel in the tank so I cleaned it out spotless, still nothing. So then I put a psi gauge in line between the pump and the inlet side of the control valve and it never register anything unless you extended the cylinder and kept trying to bottom it out, after about 3 mins of continuouslying working the handle it sometimes would go from 0psi and spike to1500psi. If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you,
