My apologies up front to those who disagree with O/T posts. I understand your point but there's an enormous wealth of knowledge here on dang near any topic; no trying to twist anyone's tail, only want to learn from those smarter than I. :~)
So for a while my water pressure's been dropping to almost nothing before the pump kicks on. There was no air in the bladder tank; I doubt I've touched it since it was installed on about 2002. I drained system pressure, installed new pressure gauge and put 38 lbs of air in the tank, planning to adjust pressure switch to 40/60. Flip 'er all back on, it runs up to 70 lbs and shuts off.

Would someone please enlighten me?

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
