I got a new accufab afpr from racetronix and installed it but it wouldn't go past 20 psi and that's with the adjustment all the way screwed in as far as it would go.....so I took one I had on my syclone and took it off and tested it and it works fine without a problem...so I know it's the new accufab not working.....and reading now I here there garbage units from the start....any mods that fixes them?
 
Only fix for the new units is the trash can. Take it apart and post pics.

I tested a 2001 AF on the HA yesterday and 10 hours later, the pressure was still at 25 psi from 45 set.

Those are two different regulators?
One is a poppet type and the other is a ball seat type.
 
Probably be the picture.
First pic looks like this design?

FWIW:
The best you can do is to try and hand lap the ball to the seat. Good luck.
 
Like I posted before… Mine had trash in it. Cleaned it out, works just fine.
 
An oem regulator won’t have these kinds of problems. These things have a high defect rate. I’ve had a couple with problems. Someone else told me they found a staple inside the regulator after it failed to function properly. I’d bet you could test 1000 stock regulators and never find a faulty one even with a lot of use and sitting dry.
