I thought the pressure could be between 28 and 31 PSI.  Mine was set with a
gauge at just a below 31 PSI.

I'll take a look at this today.

We replaced the voltage regulator with a Bosch one when I was working on the
pressure problem.  It was measuring just above 12V so we put a new one in.
I can check this one as well, but I hope to find that it is still working
correctly.

Thanks Jim!
