Hi all, just put new seats in the pump control valve and new o rings...now: trim works fine, but Tilt not at all. Motor stops when trim extended fully. Then checked oil level and had quite alot of pressure behind the fill screw. Added 30w Non Det. oil (had atf).

Original problem was bleed down on the tilt.

When the motor stops its seems like the pump has built up pressure and may have caused the motor to stop.

The pump itself was not touched/opened, etc. only the control valve....Any ideas would be appreciated....TY in advance...BG.

if it is not a crossed up tube then I have no idea without taking pump apart and finding it.
