I'm building a new log splitter that will have a Honda GX630 v-twin engine and I'm wondering if there is such a thing as a load sensing or auto-throttle for something like that?
I got the idea from watching the Eastonmade channel and their newest Axis (SHO) splitter seems to have that. When there is no load it drops down to idle but as soon as he pulls the lever on the valve it revs back up automatically. I feel like this would save a lot of fuel since my splitter build is estimated to have a little over 4 second cycle time. It will be hard to feed it logs fast enough. Here's the link if anyone is curious:
I googled it and it looks like Honda has parts you can buy called an "auto throttle" but there is no description of what they actually do and I can't seem to find any information about them. Figured there may be some other smart tinkerers on here that may know.
