I run a (wmc) Flow machine with two electric-shift intensifiers.  The other day, I ran into a problem with one intensifier that I could not solve.  (i.e., needed rebuild; water pouring from weep holes, but could not rebuild at the time).  Would it hurt the machine if I was to disconnect and plug the shared water lines to that intensifier, and just run the machine with the other intensifier doing double duty?
If so- specifically what damage would be done?

Not sure what model of pump you have but I would consider just disconnecting the shift sensor from the leaking one so it no longer shifts. Then drop your orifice so you run the corrent flow rate so you dont overshift.
