[QUOTE="jags, post: 743360, member: 10706"] Some will make a slight little "squeal" noise, some make no noise at all. If you are running a single stage pump that is more than 4 gpm, your 8hp will not have enough grunt to get it to the "bypass" point, and that could be the reason it stalls the engine. One way to test this would be to put a gauge on the pressure side and see how much psi you get before it stalls out on ya. You can reverse engineer the numbers to give a "guess" as to what size the pump is, as well as see if you are getting anywhere near the bypass pressure. But just a guess, you are probably running a single stage pump that is too big for the hp you are running. [/QUOTE]
