reassemble and retest the valve.
The relief pressure is adjusted at the factory by
adding shims under the check ball seat. If you found
shims in your valve, be sure you reinstall as many
as you took out.

pump. If the flow control valve still leaks air, replace
the pump as an assembly. The flow control valve is
not available separately.
