Bubble Counter, not consistent?

My bubble counter that is attached to my solenoid (Ca reactor) is not consistent. I set the bubble to 1 bps and eventually after a few seconds, it will weakened and then eventually stop bubbling. Is it clogged? What is clogged and how do I fix it? Even if I set it to a high bubbling rate and then slows down and then stop bubbling...

Most are needle valves which can be unscrewed and cleaned. I also found by raising the CO2 up to 15-20 lbs instead of Milwaukees recommended 10 pounds it kept the count consistent.

Increase the pressure behind the needle valve.

AZDesertRat,
You're da man! That worked like a charm. It's been consistent for the the last 15 minutes. But we shall see for a long term results. But thanks so much guys!!!
