Hi does any one know how to reduce the flow on an Eversharp skyline?
mine seems to flood after a few seconds threatening to blot.

I have looked at the feed and cant see an easy way to do it.

Any ideas welcome.

Cheers Kevin

The problem may be a leaking ink sac. I don't think the feed is at fault.

Hi
No the sac is ok, had the nib n feed out did the tongue test no leak in the sac.

Is it possible to close down the feed groves by a fraction to reduce the flow?

Cheers kevin

The feed channels are probably NOT the problem. Try setting the feed closer to the nib. You may also have a sac that is too large for the pen.
