Ram is not retracting all the way saw dust behind ram cover is it running hot as well.

As above. Get underneath at the infeed end and there is probably some wood jammed in the groove that that the ram guides run in. Dig it out and all should be well. Had this happen a couple of times.

Does the spool that triggers the return have a detent holding it in? I would expect the pressure relief to blow off before stalling the engine. A quick fix might be a relief valve on the return port.

its wen the ramp returns ready to saw the next log .

If the ram does not fully return the motor is still trying to push the ram back when you try to cut resulting in lack of power and possibly causing stalling.

 

Might be a different problem as my motor did not cut out but bogged down badly.

Have you enough oil in the system? Same problem would be caused by airlock on the return stoke, crack the joint to see if oil or air escapes.

Bits stuck in the groove easy fix dig it out also take the back plate off and clean out in there as you get a build up
