Hi Guys,
Last weekend, I was experiencing a lot of shootdown with my stock Minimag Valve. Upon disassembly of the valve, I noticed my Reg Valve Pin and Spring are flat out stuck in the seat. Would this be the root of my shootdown, a poor fit between that and my reg Seat? Not enough spring tension perhaps? Obviously this will be replaced and rebuilt with a new Mag Parts Kit, but what if anything else would be causing such a drastic amount of shootdown? I use a preset 68 3k PMI Fiber tank, and no other regulation between the tank and my valve...so it's not being choked off any.
