SARD FPR Leaking

Anyone here using SARD adj FPR? I have one installed on my 3.5 A32 and it leaks out of the adjustment stem around the lock nut. Anyone have this problem? Right now I don't have a FP gauge on the car, but if I let the car sit for a few minutes it has hard start unless I let the fuel pump prime up, kinda like the FPR is bleeding down the fuel pressure (leaking diaphragm?). I am trying to run a static 51 PSI, so there is no manifold pressure line hooked up to the FPR.

BTW, I am posting in FI even though I am NA, hoping I can tap the knowledge of a group more likely to be using a SARD FPR.

Take it apart and look for little slices in the diaphram. That's what mine looked like both times the diaphram went.

Thanks for the replies.

The guy I bought it from on ebay won't respond to me, so I figure he is selling fakes or defective units.

The unit is riveted, i'd need to drill out the rivets to open it up.

I have been looking at Aeromotive, just a bit $$$
