Help, cannot get my PS fluid to stop foaming
I am trying to get the 1989 964 PS pump to stop groaning. I have pumped 4 gallons of fluid through the system and the output hose continues to pump out foaming frothing PS fluid. What am I doing wrong?
Resevoir is disconnected entirely. Input to pump is connected to a hose and dipped into a 2 gal tank of Fresh PS fluid Return hose is dipped into a 3/4 inch hose and dipped into a collection basket. picture is of 4 gallons of PS fluid foaming. \

That looks delicious !
Your set up is sucking air. Change from a suction lift to a suction head. Then crank/start the engine and let it run for a few seconds at a time (5 seconds maybe) then turn off. Then keep the container filled. Don't let the container run out of fluid. Do it a few times until the fluid stream is solid... I'll just actually leave the reservoir connected and the return hose discharge to an open container. Just run the engine a few seconds at a time not letting the reservoir get empty. Fill it up then repeat. If it still groans, the reservoir screen could be plugged up.
