No it shouldn't stay in regen.

And far right, past the little bump is the regen. First position is normal dump

Used the machine yesterday and it's working fine. Cycle times aren't steller, but it seems, after working it a little bit, they've gotten better. Acceptable even. The joystick control is a big improvement over the old 2-lever style and the positioning is better/more comfortable. I think I need to re-check the pressure. I don't want it to be too high. I did lower it when having trouble and then increased it again when I went back to the original pump. However, the fittings on the pressure gauge mounting snot I made were leaking so I removed it. I'm afraid it's above 2500psi which I don't really want. I'll get the replacement fittings and reconnect it so I can re-adjust down to 2000psi. This isn't a big tractor and it's the only one I've got so I don't want to break anything.

Regen is working. There's a noticeable increase in dump speed when going into regen. I think this pretty much wraps up this thread. If I ever come back to the front pump, I'll start a new thread on that. But I'm satisfied with what I've got and it will keep me busy for a while. Thanks to everyone for their input.
