Having just spent two hours & probably half a kilo of coffee beans Im still no closer on my new (well secondhand!) silvia and iberital getting a good shot. Having wound the grind finer and finer Im still getting shots gushing out, blonding within 10 seconds and filling the cup in the 20 - 22 second range!! 
Am I on the right track in assuming the grind is still not fine enough? I worried about over & under dosing too, so I started weighing the coffee in the group head to make sure it was around 14g - double group handle. If the dose is right it has to be down to grind doesnt it??? Feeling Ive bitten off more than I can chew here - was relatively happy with my old cheapy machine?!?!? :
