I am sorry that you are having a problem with one of our products. If the columns have gaps in them, some fluid was lost from the tool. The reason for this is the air space between the calibration screw and the top of the fluid in the reservoir is increased when fluid is lost, and in an extreme case, will draw air as well as the fluid. If you look at the air gap between the calibration screw and the fluid in each chamber on your tool, you will probably see differences from one channel to the next. If the tool is in proper condition, all the air gaps should be the same level, and be between 6-8mm.
There are two critical steps that must be performed each time you use the tool, first to back out all the calibration screws counter clockwise before starting the calibration process, and also calibrating the unit properly EVERY time it is used, even if it is one the same vehicle. Proper calibration means making sure the unit is calibrated to the master carburetor, as calibrating it to an adjustable carb or throttle body will result in incorrect calibration. Also, it is important to avoid closing the throttle too quickly if you are raising the idle to check your adjustments, because rapid closure of the throttle will easily exceed the vacuum limit of the tool.
If the air gaps are different in the chambers, or exceed 8mm, the tool will need to be refilled. There is a refill kit available, its part number is 08-0415.
