Well, the pressure is greater than 7 lbs. Don't know how much greater because it slams to its capacity. Must have a MIGHTY spring in there. Anyway, it doesn't seem like we should have to buy a regulator when the pump is new and should be the currect pressure. Says in the old shop manuals that the pressure should only be 3.6-4.6 psi (don't quote me, I'm at work and don't have the book in front of me for accuracy). Back to the supplier and find out if it is the currect pump.
