I built a log splitter with a 220 volt 3 hp electric motor( sorry no pics) it works ok but seems like it could be better will split most wood but some of the harder stuff it won't split, i just installed a gauge on the line between the valve & the pump to ck pressure but haven't run it yet, when i try & split a piece of difficult wood it just stops, the motor doesn't bog down so my thinking it's not the motor, the instructions from the valve say there is a pressur adjustment screw to adjust pressure but doesn't tell which way to turn the screw, also are these valves set low from the factory, thinkg need to ck pressure then adjust up some am i on the right track also the unit has a 2 stage 16 gal/min pump & a 4 inch 3000 psi cylinder.??? thanks
