Messed around with it a little more this morning, I think I'm close. Here is a diagram of the setup(check valve omitted, add in if pump wont hold pressure):


On the bike it is giving just a real quick pulse, like maybe 2 strokes, and when idling it is another 1&1/2 minutes till the next pulse. It's looking good, but still have to get a working counter. So, guessing here, if 90 seconds between pulses = .1gph, then 3 gph would be 3 seconds between pulses?

But since this is a pressure system, it also holds promise for automobiles.
