Question about Unloader

[BLewis]

Called my contact at Interlink because I was having problems out of my unloaded on my Vortex. He suggested to go to a powerwash shop and buy one. I did so and replaced it however the new one is very hard to adjust. When I try to dial it in to 750 psi if I go a slight bit higher it will load up and the pressure will shoot to 2500+. So I will not be able to adjust it for turbo cleaning. I will get a new one (to properly match) from Aerotech Monday but that will take a few days to get here. Numbers stamped on sides are different but all the in/out were match up properly. Is there something I may be overlooking?
Old one 15-04 white spring 250 BAR, new one 09-12 blue spring 280 BAR

not sure it has anything to do with your issue but could the check valve people talk about removing be the issue?

Fred that could be. Distributor mentioned something about a "bullet" looking thingy somewhere that may need to be taken out. Where would I find the check value? They were closed by the time I was able to install it this afternoon.

Ha Fred I just seen your link! I'll dig into that in the am, I'm sure that will be the issue. Thanks, Fred & Jim

Yes what Fred said and check your spring color.

Found it, removed it. Has blue spring should I replace with the white one off the original?

blue should be fine...its just a stiffer spring...

What is the reasoning behind removing the check valve?

and while we are at it - which O-ring am I supposed to be lubing every so often? and what am I supposed to be lubing it with?
