[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 3826, member: 82"] Not a problem. Vane pumps are very good with holding their pressure through out their life span. When they wear, they just wear out the housing the vanes run on and when they do, the vanes bed in to the new marks. They are very good at this, but their only flaw is low RPM, the vanes don't fully spin out to create pressure, unlike gear pumps. As for the filter, mine looked clean too, but i got in to it with a can of de-greaser and a pressure washer. I would have replaced it but they didn't have any available for a few days. They were pretty cheap, i would replace it first and if thats no better go the valves as a last resort. I really do doubt it would be the valves just because both sides are dead. Both valves wouldn't just die at the exact same time. While you have the pump out, replace the bushing for the lift arms that runs under the pump!!! The pivot point is on the chain case, its a swyne to get at with the pump in. This is if you haven't done it already. [/QUOTE]
