Couldn't see spending the cash on a valve with a detent, and got tired of messing with a bungee cord. This is the trial run. It needs the lever spring attachment point a little closer to the pivot, but it works.

What's not obvious in the video is the pump dead heading on the return stroke without operator action. A detent would eliminate that but I understand your reluctance to spend more money if the return spring works for you. MikeD74T

That's what relief valves are for. :D Rare occasion, keeps you moving quick.
