Nope sounds normal, mine runs the same! At 65 psi the overpressure valve vents to return.

I have not checked at that location, but those are the numbers I see on the factory guage.<br>By the way, does your sig indicate what I think it does? If so, way cool, thought I was going to get the call.<br>Ed
