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

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
