[QUOTE="Clutha, post: 460468, member: 29975"] roys, I think your water ingress leading to insulation breakdown would be my no.1 . She had domestic issues some time ago and all her landscape gardening equipment, (her summer work, self employed) and the splitter were stored with a friend, but not under shelter as she thought, everything left outside in the weather. She's now settled in her own place (her DIY skills in the 1860's house are amazing). After fitting her solid fuel stove she tried getting the chopper working again. Hydraulic valves had stuck and I got that sorted and the machine has been used quite a bit since. I think the insulation has now given up, but will pull the motor off and confirm. Thanks everyone for the great response to my query. [/QUOTE]
