I'm running 120 on the AD for my original MW44 . Let me be clear that this is not the Gold that I have . The Gold is running beautifully with an AD of 10 . My other 44 is one of the originals that was modified by the original owner for autostart and then further developed by myself . I'm going to give the bypass a shot . Sounds like it worked wonders for you !

BTW , did youn return to the tank or the pump inlet ?
