My splitter engine is a 2005 quantum 6.5 HP briggs vertical shaft. Anyone heard of these things having problems? Since this was the first new machine I ever bought I took extra special care of it. not letting it get rained on, changing oil religiously etc etc. I usually only use it to split the wood I will use and only last year used it to split 10 ricks for sale. so it really hasn"t ran that many hours. What happened is I changed the oil this morning as it was looking a little dirty and I mean just slighty tinted, not black. ran it for a couple hours and it sounded a bit noisy so I checked the oil and it looked like metal was in the oil but the level was ok so I drained it and refilled it and it ran for less than a min and locked up. I usually only run the engine at 3/4 throttle not wide open. I am kind of bummed about this. Any ideas before I just run out and get a new replacement??
