Several people have suggested this. Should have mentioned in the initial
post; the accumulator was replaced at DMC Houston last July when I took
posession, so I would assume (and there's that word again) that the
accumulator is ok. I was going to perform the checkvalve test described at
http://www.dmcnews.com/Techsection/hotstart.htm and see what happened
(unless someone has a better suggestion or warnings of my impending doom).
