Symptom
Engine bogs down significantly when any lever is moved.
Diagnosis & fix steps
LOGIC: Pump regulator is not de-stroking.
ACTION: Check the proportional solenoid on the pump drive. If the solenoid is getting current but the pump won't move, the internal swashplate is stuck.
Red Seal field insights
Specs: Standby pressure should be approx. 350–500 PSI. PRO-TIP: In older 999s, "Varnish" in the oil from years of service can glue the pump regulators. A fresh high-quality hydraulic flush often solves "bogging."
