In follow-up to my post earlier this week about the problem of not being able to lift the disc behind my 1086, the suggestions were to get a pressure reading and if possible a flow-rate. Couldn't get a flowmeter but did get the pressure gauge.
Both remote outlets only generate 1000psi @1900rpm.
Without having that flowrate determination, is this enough information to warrant checking pressure valve? My understanding that in its most basic sense, the pressure is a result of the resistance in the circuit (i.e. pressure valve). Since the reading is only 1000psi when it should be closer to 2000, it could indicate that the valve spring or other component has failed or gotten weak and providing enough resistance in order to get the pressure higher. All of that as opposed to low pressure = bad pump.
You guys helped me greatly getting this far, just looking for a little advice on whether or not to focus on the valve or go buy a pump.
Thanks.
