Both pumps seem to be running nice and cool, Gene. There's only about 200hrs on the hydraulic system, it all seems to be working just fine.
This morning I found I was able to keep the engine up to speed by applying a little pressure against the throttle linkage with my finger, keeping it from dropping down too far. Well, back to the manual to figure out the linkage and governor.
