CPR issues 200 1981

posted by  someone claiming to be Spbeaurain on  Fri Apr 24 17:41 CST 2015 [RELATED]

So my 81 245 N/A has a no start issue. Hooked up my pressure tester, and with car off and just the pump jumpereed and running (being as the car wouldn't run anyways), and got readings of 70 system pressure and 30 rest pressure, all good there. Control pressure reading is where it went bad, started at 55psi and went up from there.

So I took off the CPR, took it apart and cleaned it up as best I could. Nothing noticably wrong, in fact it looks pretty darn nice inside, save for the O ring I there, while not torn, looked thin and old so I replaced it with one out of my O ring kit. Hooked the CPR back up and the System and Rest pressures were identical, but when I take the Control reading I get about 1psi....if that. Now keep in mind this was also with just the pump running, not with the car running.

Is that normal to have such a low reading until the CPR gets power? Or did I reassemble it incorrectly? Was the new O ring maybe too thick? Should I just put it back together and see if it runs? Learning is fun!

Thanks in advance

Shaun
