On the up cycle, pump shut off at 1300psi and settled at 1200psi after 3 = minutes. My buddy A&P and I cycled the gear up twice with finger firmly on the hi = side relay. The relay was vibrating rapidly, making and breaking contact = presumably. Replaced the relay and the pump now cycles the gear up and down = normally. The pump and pressure switches are OK. I'm curious to see the insides of the relay when I cut it open. Perhaps Blue Sea solid state relays are the way to go, but in order to = buy them, I'd need a second mortgage on our house. Angier=
