SOLVED!.
Craig, I am very grateful for your help. Finally I have adjusted it as you told me, using the 2.5 screw. After that the macro lever could go up and down without problems but it didn't grind as fine as I want so once that was solved I adjusted the grind grade by using the 2 mm screw (the only one I have had to use). Now my Vario goes PERFECT, WOW!. What a piece of machinery!.
Thanks again Craig, if you need something you know how to reach me!.

You're very welcome Carlos! I knew it would make sense after a good nights sleep & looking at it fresh. {:-D I know (after you told me ;) ) that it was 1:00am or later when we started chatting & at that time for you & being very tired, it was & can seem confusing what I was describing to do. As I mentioned to you Carlos, I was doing the same thing too 6 months ago at 1:00am in the morning! & being beat after a long day, I thought I knew what I was doing., but what I had read about the procedure hadn't really sunk in.
DO NOTadjust the 2.5mm rubber grommet screw at all guys! Well, only as a last resort if for some remote reason that the screw loosened & the grinder is out of calibration. I'm going to post my Instant Messenger words/procedure in the interest of it helping other CG's as I've just had an email from another Coffeegeek member. (SpeedStar) Devin, I only posted the one pic..

I just pulled a few shots in a row, and my Vario was behaving very oddly. I actually recalibrated it yesterday, and ran Grindz through, and it was making beautiful shots after I dialed it in for a 16g dose in 13.5s. Today, I ground my usual 3.0s purge, then pulled four shots. The resulting doses were 15.7, 16.2, 16.7, and 17.1g. Not only was the dose increasing noticeably every shot, but they seemed to pull faster and faster, with more channeling. The hopper is still half full, so I wouldn't expect this kind of inconsistency.
A couple of users on HB reported the same sort of behaviour just a few days ago in this thread, and now I feel bad for basically blowing them off. What's going on?

Craigo, I was going to post exactly the same as yours a few days ago, but Comcast (the evil empire masquerading as an internet provider) interceded. LOL
