It sounds as if your needle is not fully seated. Loosen the needle lock nut, withdraw the needle about a centimetre or so (or half an inch), gently but firmly (but not TOO hard) press the needle in, hold the needle in place and re-tighten the lock nut - should be a simple fix.

seems to have done the trick, thanks for the help

Agree with what Phil suggested. If it does not fix the problem, then you should check for bent needle or splitted nozzle.
