fired up buggy. 

imediatly noticed power steering pump not happy, dead headed.


ran output hose direct to tank to ignore that / think about it.


fought with cooling system on and off for 2 hours, cant get to bleed, bah!

fuel system good
exhaust good
wiring good
transmission still good after re assembly


50$ grab bag orbital is wrong kind.  determined its closed center with 5th port load sense.  not open center with 5th port power beyond.
