I wonder if it is that orrrrrrrr the diaphram in the sureflo. Cos i'm convinced it isn't the varistream......or the strainer. That's clean and it didn't work properly even after bypassing it. 99% sure it isn't the microbore either. So it's sureflo(4 years old, but only used 2 or 3 times a week). It's working a bit better now, however it does cut out when on max sign. I know it doesn't have to be that high, but it is indicating that something is wrong. I'll try adjusting blue dial after a cuppa. Just not sure which direction to turn it,lol. Thanks again for your advice lads.
