Increasing the Wetness of a Pelikan m805 (Fine nib)

[Ali Hobbies]

Greetings all. I am new to the group and the hobby. Please let me know if this is not the right place to post such a question. 

 

I recently purchased a new Pelikan m805 Stresemann with Fine nib. I have read that Pelikans are wet writers (and can confirm this by two other Pelikans I recently acquired in different configurations). But my m805 with Fine nib writes extremely dry. When I apply no pressure to the nib, there is barely a line that comes out. When I apply more pressure, it writes but the writing experience is not particularly pleasant. I use Irochizuku ink. 

 

I was wondering if you could give me some advice on how to increase the ink flow and make the pen a wetter writer. An ideal writing instrument for me produces a thin, wet line. Any advice welcome.

 

Thanks in advance.

I would check the tine gap first.

That makes sense. Can you give me more detail how to check and adjust the times? Thanks
