[QUOTE="Jhenderson, post: 6690937, member: 143764"] You need to check pressures. If you don’t have a gauge buy one. Northern Tool sells a 3,000 psi gauge for $13.99 Put the gauge on the pressure port leading to the cylinder base and hold the lever in forward. The pressure should be around 4-500 psi at first then the pump should kick down into the high pressure stage for around 2,000 psi. If not the the pump is bad. 2 stage pumps aren’t worth rebuilding. Just pull the numbers and manufacturer off it and use the Internet for a replacement. Also check the cylinder for bad packing by running the rod all the way out, then pull the hose off the far end. Put the handle in forward. If fluid shoots out the open bung on the cylinder the fluid is bypassing the piston packings and the cyl needs to be repaired. [/QUOTE]
