The slightest leak will prevent any flow controller from operating correctly.

I don't know if the flowmaster has the same as the varistream, but inside there is an internal adjustment, I had the same problem of it blowing the connector of the reel, until I adjusted the internal setting.

I think there is an adjustment on the pressure switch on one of the pumps, Alex Gardiner is the best guy to ask about that.

If it's a Flojet pump then simply remove the plastic cover from the pressure switch, in between the two electrical connections there is a cross headed screw, unwind this a little at a time until you get the desired shut off point.
