I have a case ih 1200. I have my vac set for 18 pounds and it is very erratic....it will range from 14 to 23 pounds and it will move 8 or 9 pounds in 2 or 3 seconds.....what could the problem be?

Check the cap as he said and check for any corrosion on the contacts of the sensor. Also I would suggest taking the sensor out and LIGHTLY tapping in on a plastic surface. Sometimes they can get filled with fine dust and cause issues. The dust will fall out when you tap the sensor. Beyond that it's always possible a small filing is restricting oil flow in the solenoid. Guessing it's sensor related.

I had the exact problem at startup this season. After checking all sensor/electrical possibilities, finally changed the solenoid valve. Fixed it instantly. Must of been hanging up, and the surging was the result of overcompensating itself. Good luck
