Spring may have been swapped for the lift side spring by mistake. I think you can tell by the coil count. Would help to put a pressure gauge--don't recall pressure limits. [Reply]   [No Email]

Good news is all the feedback supports what i have done to date. Next step is to get new relief spring, shim if required and try to build some pressure (which is obviously lacking). Anyone have a good method to clean/clear the valve seat for the valve cone going in from the side? I plan on making sure the cone is seating when i put new spring in. While all looks clean and OK with valve I can not be sure it is tight into housing and able to build pressure. If this works I will post results for others to benefit from. Thanks, Mike   [Reply]  [No Email]

Have not put a gauge on test port to see whats happening but problem still persists. Warms up, hydro gets weak, power steering gets hard, hydro lever has resistance and cant push forward..level ground operates OK but never to what cold start was for power. Never stops moving and can cut for hours with limited uphill work. Could check valves be causing this? What do the two checks do and how can I tell if these are bad? as always thanks for feedback.   [Reply]  [No Email]
