Wallenstein log splitter

[Treeman1971]

Anyone know where I can get a Wallenstein log splitter serviced as it’s spluttering . Close to Warrington Cheshire

Any garden or machinery dealer, it'll probably just need the tank and carb cleaning.

It's just a simple and very basic honda engine, nothing special that's used on loads of lawnmowers/stump grinders and such.

 

It's what a honda GX180 ?.

 

If they can't strip a carb and maintain that, society has lost all hope!.

Don't mess around. Honda carbs are notoriously fussy with anything other than fresh, clean fuel. If fuel has been left in the carb for an extended period sure as eggs is eggs you will have carb issues. These horizontal Honda engine carbs are really easy to remove and replace...easy access and nothing difficult. A 10mm socket and long nose pliers to remove the rods (take pics first if not sure) and off. New carb (genuine Honda) around £60-£80.......you will pay near that for just a carb clean with no guarantee it cures the issue. Just get a carb on it and be sure it will work first time out the trap.

 

Give me the engine numbers and I will tell you what part number to get.

consider fitting a cheap copy carb, I've got a copy carb on a HRH 536 mower, genuine Honda was £100, chinese £10 through the letterbox off ebay, not as good, but still works

yours looks to be a GX160

even L&S engineers sell cheap copy carbs for that model (check your engine model first e.g GX160K3, ) I often go through parts lists and order gaskets too when changing carbs on machines, you may not need gaskets, if you can get it apart without damaging them
