Went to run motor down and the pump runs but it takes about 10 seconds for it to start going down . Once it starts to work it works fine up and down. Checked fluid and could only add about 3 oz. After it sits overnight then the pump motor again runs about 10 seconds and starts down. Not sure what to check next so any help would be great. Thanks

probably the motor. hot wire it to be sure. if it works perfect when hotwired then it is the wiring, switches, or relays.

The pump motor runs fine but the cylinders take about 10 seconds to start to move. Once they move everything works fine until it sits for a few hours.
