LogSplitter No power on stroke or return

.....would've been nice to know a SMALL detail about changing out the engine to less horsepower....

I apologize for that. When I bought it, the seller told me that engine was big enough to run the pump, as long as I ran it at full throttle. In my original post and ignorance of the workings of the hydraulic system, I did not realize that it was going to be part of the equation. Sorry.

Not a big deal, glad you have a handle on it....:thumbsup:

All the pumps will supply the same power/pressure. The smaller pumps will be slower.

I was only referring to the three two stage pumps stated in the link, which are capable of 3000 psi.

UPDATE:
Just got finished installing a 1012 pump on my splitter and she's running perfectly! My pressure gauge has not arrived yet, so I am only running on the factory settings, but once I get that installed, I will use the advice and information I received here to tune her up and get the most out of her that I can.

Thanks to all who contributed to helping me solve this problem (especially J_J), and for saving me a boatload over just swapping out random parts, hoping to find the solution. Your expertise and advise is greatly appreciated.

Thanks again!
