It is something like 27 years since I played around with a very recalcitrant 225, something tells me that it sounds like a signal pressure issue, the pumps are getting a signal to go to full swash when other valves aren't fully open to take the flow, maybe a sticking valve, broken spring or some grub in the system. Sounds like you will need someone who really understands those old systems, the latest machines all the fitters work on have computer diagnostics, so they may not be much use to you.
