I primed it with oil through the fitting and set the pickup into a can of hydrauliuc fluid and shot a solid 3/8" stream an honest ten feet. Tomorrow I will rig up a gauge with some 3/8" air hose. I'm thinking a good pump will open the bypass? Not sure whether to test for pressure, volume or distance. Gonna be like an old time 'pissin' contest'. May the best pump win.
