 Mark, Chris,
 Wow, wow,... now this amazing. How ever it is not difficult to remove the
 spool and test it both ways, and that's what I plan to do. I will reverse my
 spool with hole and "O" ring to face toward UP side (which is opposite what
 I have had) and test it for many cycles. I will report back with results.
 Just to clarify, my system is holding pressure just fine once in up or down
 position. I've observed very slow leak on both main cylinders at the
 "rod-end" ends, which I plant to fix when I receive my rebuild kits.
 Regards, Garry, L-360c
 
 Mark,
 << This is the identical situation I encountered last year. Oildyne people
 were wonderful to work with and told me about the hole in the spool valve
 orientation. However, when they sent me the schematic, it showed the spool
 pointing the other direction. I reinstalled mine based on the schematic and
 it has functioned correctly since then. There are a number of postings in
 the archives with actual pictures of the parts from the disassembled units
 which agree with the schematic and not the verbal instructions from
 Oildyne.>>
 Thanks for the input. My contact at Oildyne has long since moved on, so
 continuity has suffered. Do you have a copy of the schematic you could post
 for archiving?
