Anyways the question I have is: When I put it on my goats the gauge needle flicks back and forth from 5 to 11. Is it suppose to do that? Or do I have a leak. It milks fine. and I don't currently use a balance tank because I carry it everywhere. I'm planning to mount it to a stand and building the balance tank into the stand.
