Dump Valve Rebuild?

[Don Bradner]

So your auxilliary pump only does the Microphor? Mine will fill
anything/everything, including air bags. It cuts out at 90PSI.

I like being able to have full-usable air before the engine is even started. The
8V92 doesn't need a long warmup (my opinion, anyway), so I can roll soon after
startup.
