making firewood from 40" rounds with the fastest store bought/box store 1980s spitter around.

I go through the hole process.
Making a few rounds, ripping them to 1/4s, and splitting one up.
.
Rusty wanted to see some dug-fir turned in to firewood, so I added him.

    If the new engine is the same displacement/power, how is it going to power the new pump with 50% more flow? If the horsepower is the same your pump output will have 50% more flow/cylinder speed, but the pressure will need to be reduced by 50% to avoid stalling the engine. This means you will end up with a faster wood splitter but lots less force to split hard or heavy wood.

    • @BGWenterprises
      @BGWenterprises Місяць тому

      @kitfoxn990tt5 stage one is 19.5gpm at somwhere between 400 to 600psi, according to the manufacturer. figuring worst case that requires 6.8 hp the stage 2 of the pump is 2.8gpm at 3k or approximately 4.9hp. The original engine was less hp it was a flat head Briggs engine rated at 5hp. The replacment engine, has been dyno ran by several people on the net at a few tenths under 7hp. So yes I agree, I'm pushing the engine at a point, it will definitely have a shorter life. I've found manufacturers generally oversized the engines quite a bit, to basically avoid warranty claims. 0.01c

I'm very accustomed to full rap handles, and I'm definitely looking for one for it. . Compression is relatively low, probably a big part of how they got it to pass emissions without haveing a computer controlled carburetor. And a big reason I like it, is no automatic adjustment of things. . I've found a few people that have opened them up, as there's about 0.065 thousands at TDC. Much more then other saws that are around 0.040 thousands. Generally modified saws are around 0.020 thousandths at TDC. People talk about them haveing a lot of kid prof things, to keep from affecting the emissions. As well as how they have a 5 year warranty, for as long as there not modified in any way. . It definitely reminds me of running one of my pre 2010 372s without the stratospheric air system, or x-torque as husqvarna calls it, definitely not something i like.
