Try lowering the pressure first. It sounds like
its simply set too high.

Should be 42# line off I think. What kind do you have? Accufabs are rebuildable.

Drop the pressure on it for now, until you get a new one.

Nah, I didnt adjust it. I just figured it was bad. Bought a new one from gbodyparts.

That was about the normal amount of drop for line off to line on at idle, just needed resetting. Well, now you have a brand new one anyway.

I've been wanting one in S6's link for a couple years. I always was like "it's only about a bill, I'll get it anytime." I made an excuse up and wasnt about to listen to anyone. lol

Y'all still think it's good? My old boss (hell of a nice guy) needs one. I'll give it to him if I can get it to read normal...what? 41 line on 43 line off? How do I reset it?

I forgot to mention....S6, why doesnt Bweavy's "reviews" buttons work?

That looks identical to the one I bought from Kirban's.

Robert, start at 43# with the line off, and fine tune from there.

-------------------------------------
Are you sure that the one pictured is not anodized. There is such a thing as clear anodize. It is doubtful that the one pictured is not anodized. Hit it with a small amount of metal polish, and the rag shouldn't bring back any color if it is anodized.
If it is not anodized, I would return it if it has not been installed yet, as it will not retain it's clean look very long. Without ano, it will tarnish/corrode

I meant the colored anodizing, like red, blue, black, and even purple. :vom:  :rofl;
