Simple Antibody Staining

I am a new user of a new MoFlo.  We are working on separating SP cells in bone marrow, which seems to be working well.  The problem I am having are simple antibody staining.  We use several stem cell markers conjugated to FITC and PE.  What we usually get is a long tail of positive stained cells that go off scale, or an un-separatable population.  The attachment shows both types, Sca1 and CD34 respectively. We have another brand new MoFlo on campus which gave similar results for ckit.  We are having a devil of a time separating these populations.  I don't know if it's a settings, hardware or antibody problem.  But I'm at the end of my minimal rope.  Any suggestions?
