Main reason is I have seen many people here as well as other sites chase a problem only to find out it was a gauge accuracy issue. About the simplest and cheapest repair/test at this point. If the pressure is the same I would remove the pump and measure everything or just buy a new pump as they are cheap and easy to swap out. Heavier oil is just a band aid in my opinion.


I got a new gauge, its showing 30lbs at idle and its hitting almost 70lbs by 2000rpm.

Silly me, trusting an old test gauge, I won't make that mistake again.

Got a lot of good info from this thread, thank you all for the help!

Wow that's good to hear. Almost unbelievable. To many times we are like horses with blinders on. Glad it worked out. I know I would be as happy as a Clam..
