Do you have to do something special for the gauge to work? The needle does not move at all when I pump.

No, gauge worked, but the presto valve busted five or six valve needle. I replaced the valve head.

No, it should move all on its own. Serfas is usually a good brand but I had to send my pump back bc it didn't work.

"Do you have to do something special for the gauge to work?"Yep. You do have to do something special. Return the pump. I'm assuming that air is actually getting into the tube?

Yep that is how it should be done. Maybe you didn't push the pin in far enough. Make sure the threaded end in screwed tightly into the metal pump, and the needle goes into the inflation site. Try pushing it in further to the Cushion. It should work. Otherwise maybe the pump is defective. Good luck!

Hi Paul H,Is there any update ? Have you talked to your technician ? It's almost a week and that pump is still not doing anything, I really want it to work.Thank you.

Hi Shane,as you know these meters are very sensible. Off 2 Amps looks like mech. damage. When you move the meter the needle should move free in either direction. There is a black plastic screw below the gage. Here you may adjust the needle, but not sure whether such a large misalingement of 2 Amps. Does the Ampmeter works anyway????Good luck my friend

Mine did not, though this is a really good pump and worth it to pick up the needle seperately.

I ran into the same problem. However, the thick rubber washer in the pump was sufficient to hold and seal the needles without the flattened head. You may find that the threaded part of the head to the pump will not screw all the way down but enough to use the pump. Still looking for the flat head needles though.

Did you insert it into the white hole/valve thing? maybe you need to insert it just a bit further. Otherwise sounds like you did everything right. Maybe your pump is bad, try another. Good luck!

I had to take the gauge out of the rubber casing, pop off the over and adjust the paper beneath the needle. Guess it's a common issue but a quick fix.

I have this in-line gauge, between the pump and the valve. I've noticed the cheap pump fights the tire pressure when trying to read it with the gauge. Not sure I like the pump; I suspect it is the pump/gauge that's the issue - not necessarily the 90 adapter.

Yeah you might want to send it back or call the provider. If it's not defective it may just be the needle.

Thats odd. I use a standard bike pump to air our tires. Maybe you have the wrong attachment on your pump?

Mine changed easily with the screw. I would tend to think you may have gotten a defective one...which is a shame because this really is a fantastic gauge. I've had no problems since installing mine. :-(

No, the gauge does not activate until air is push thru it, which makes the Lezyne pump neccesary.

http://www.amazon.com/review/R1A6VISEZLBCNK/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R1A6VISEZLBCNKLook at this review. It helped me. However, it was ultimately my 12 year old who figured it out based on the directions. She says to NOT push the trigger when putting the needle on. I don't know. Good luck! Mine is working now!

Mine came inflated and they include a needle too. It doesn't bounce even when inflated.

Mine do the same. It's the little red indicator needle, and I got used to it. I'd love to know if anyone else has an answer.

You may have calcium build up on your machine and it could be giving you a false reading. Unscrew the end unit and hose off any white build up you see. Try the pump again. I actually just did this today and now it's running fine. Good luck!
