On Sept. 1st took-off to fly to Redmond and the gear would not come up after 3 tries, I landed and put the plane away and drove. On my=20 return I jacked the plane up and cycled the gear 6 times and they worked fine, someone listening to the hydraulic pump said it sounded like it was not producing enough pressure so I turned up the pressure until I could hear the=20 pump lug down more toward the end of the cycle and it=20 ran longer as well. I flew again today to test the gear and=20 the gear would not come up my 3 green gear down lights went out (where as on the 1st the left main gear light stayed on) but was confirmed from the ground that the nose gear=20 did retract but the main just seem to hang straight down but would not = come up into the wheel wells.
