Make sure the belt isn't too loose or too tight. Look to see if it's getting shiny (too loose). Too tight and you'll rip the bearing out of the pump. Usually if the belt is too loose it will squeal when turned to extreme when pump is pushing max pressure.

Thanks ax
Ill give it a day or so to see what happens, i say i might try a new pump,, myluck i got a bad one lol i really could use one with the low pressure port facing the other direction

Thanks i do like theway it drives, , no more slack at all and no more catching, i had a catch at 1 spot, ,, much better
