mine did this to on my trolley with varistream. it just needed calerbrating. try opening the varistream controller front and turn the notch up. theres about 7 settings i think. mine is fine now

have you tried pulling all the hose off as on mine sometimes the hose on the reel starts to collapse and this restricts the flow
