Spool Valve

[North Idaho Wolfman]

Ok, so here's where we are...

Finally got the gauge and adaptor for 1/2 to 1/4, for the gauge, placed the gauge on spool #3 ( far right side), the gauge was reading at 2300 psi then I adjusted down to 1700 psi with spool operated. At running speed with no hydraulics being used it reads between 700 & 850 psi.
Is that idle reading OK?
Also at idle when I operate the "down" operation of another spool valve the gauge reads around 500psi, is this ok?
The overall spools seem to operate the bucket slightly slower but smooth.

It sound right to me, the idle reading is sort of a grey area because the only real resistance is the lines and fittings going back to the tank.
