HI guys for some reason my pump doesn't seem to be pulling full vaccum, the flow indicator has stopped spinning but the gauge isn't quite at -30
Even with the part clamped off it still doesn't go down to -30 but it did used too what's causing this?

You also might want to check if your needle is still properly fixed to the pin. Mine came loose after multiple times degassing and swirling the pot around to pop the bubbles. Had the same issue and when I removed the plastic cover it appeared the needle slipped on the center pin. Fixed it with a tiny drop epoxy.

Thanks for the replies I thought the tone of the pump had changed but thought I'd ask to make sure
