What do you mean on its own? did you get a detent valve for a splitter?

 

[deerseeker001]

What valve did you install, Brand name and model #

Does it look anything like these valves.

Most valves have the main relief valve by the IN port. Log splitter valves have the detent relief valve toward the rear on the side or at the rear.

Check, clean and adjust the detent .

this will return the cylinder after the log is split

 

[deerseeker001]

thanks for your time and help

this will return the cylinder after the log is split

If things are in good operating order, it should detent on the return stroke and return too neutral.

A new log splitter valve is only $60

this is a brand new valve that's why i don't understand why it don't work properly

If you are going to take it apart, watch out for the springs and balls.

Are you pushing the lever hard enough to push it past the detent?

 

[deerseeker001]

thanks for all your advice

 

[deerseeker001]

i will check that out maybe that's the problem,didn't know you had to push hard

 

[J_J]

What was the outcome on the splitter valve? Did it ever go into detent on the return stroke?

 

[deerseeker001]

i want to thank you for remembering me but today was one of those days never got to check it out.we are putting new corrugate siding on the pole barn. i will post reply and let you know if it works,thanks again
