Re: Proportioning valve problem?

***Here's an update. I think the pressure differential valve is actually centered. Turns out the switch I bought 1-2 years ago has a hair trigger and moves only .030" or so before it closes. So, even on my new aftermarket prop valve, as soon as I install the switch, it closes. The switch that came with the new valve moves more like a .100" before it closes.

However, that doesn't solve my problem. Now I think I may have a blockage somewhere instead of a stuck pressure differential valve. It is this valve that blocks fluid flow, right?
