[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 97502, member: 82"] I like the testing setup. As for priming, i don't know how your pumps are coupled together, but in the past on a dry machine i filled it with oil and got a helper to operate the hydraulics via the pedals while i retract and extend the cylinders. This will pull oil in from the tank and into the pumps. It may not get all the way inside the rams, but it gets the pumps lubricated. With the tests you did on your pumps, they will be well oiled, so i see no issues with startup. [/QUOTE]
