Sounds like your regulator is set too high (I know this sounds simplistic ... but).

Let the pressure rise above 60 PSI and then turn the regulator counter clockwise until the downstream pressure falls to 60PSI.

If that doesnt work, make sure that your regulator is not plumbed backwards (arrow should be on the low pressure side)

And lastly, ensure that your gages are not all on the high pressure side.
