    I'm with Pat on the numbers, 90 is awful high. You didn't mention what viscosity grade oil you're using, which may be a factor. Checking with a different (mechanical especially) gauge would be a good proof. If the condition showed there too it could be the relief dumping because pressure is too high.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Like the others say, try another guage. Too many possible variables with electric ones, I prefer the line type.

    yep i was not going to say any thing about a sticky bypass. that why i told him the gauge first.even 50wt still would not be that hi bypass would dump it before then less jammed if moving like he said it the gauge i think
