HWH Pump Removal

[one_dusty_hoot]

Lucas, seems to me you have found a way to save
the motor by limiting current via the breaker but
the cause still remains tripping your breakers.

If the pump works before oil can go to the
cylinder could the switch that turns the pump
on be out of adjustment turning the pump on
too soon?

If not, another way would be a pressure release
bypass valve. Once the pressure reached a point
near where damage could be done to the motor a
spring-loaded valve diverts fluid to the supply
tank.
