[QUOTE="mga, post: 1484417, member: 10757"] pressure gauge is 15 bucks. oil filled too. i would have ruled out the filter from the start. even if it was clogged or too small, the by-pass would have allowed the oil to run free. if the cylinder was leaking from the seals, you would notice it bogging down or even stopping when splitting. if it was leaking so bad that it actually slowed down the cycle time, i doubt you'd be able to split anything. the pressure gauge will tell you if the pump is doing its job. mount the gauge where the hi-pressure line meets your control valve. check out Northern Tools dual stage pumps or check out ebay for any deals.
