Tilt and trim help!

[pwinans]

I have 2002 50 hp johnson. the tilt and trim wasn't going up and noticed fluid leaking out of the top of the cylinder. So I bought a new cap with seals and now there is nothing leaking. I filled and bled the system over and over per instructions on the internet, but the engine still will not go up. the tilt motor is making noise and sounds like it always has, but the engine won't lift. Any suggestions? I am at my wits end. is it possible the motor makes noise but something is wrong with it and won't pump fluid? or if the motor is making it's normal noise it's not the motor?

This may be an odd coincidence, but it's possible you have bad o-rings on your manual bypass valve. They are #9 and #10 on the tilt/trim parts diagram.

Assuming you have tightened the bypass valve.
The oring on the bypass on mine went shortly after the orings in the top cap. Mine would raise but lower on its own. If i understand correctly there is a check valve in the bypass valve.
My motor is 2000 40hp.
