We recently purchased a house built in 1982. The windows are all Lowen CMHC 7165. Some of them have moisture between the two glass panes. I think this means the seal is broken. Is there a way we can repair or fix this problem ourselves without replacing the window at this time?

You are correct, if you have moisture/fog/anything between the two panes then the window's seals are broken.Unfortunately there is no effective fix to this problem, other than replacement.
You may well be able to have the glass only replaced at a good window supplier, or maybe the glass and frame, this would save you some money and a lot of money in labor to have the whole window replaced.
Look in your local phone book for window manufacturers, very often siding wholesalers sell windows as well, these would be a good place to start and see if they can match the existing windows and sell you just the moving window.
Here is Loewen's web address, start with a friendly email to them, they will be able to guide you in the right direction toward a dealer.

My log splitter won't start, pulled the cord probably 30 times, it's not new but always ran fine before. Any idea what I'm missing
