Shocker wont fire?

[automags4ever]

What's up guys? Please don't come at me saying "this is an automag forum." I own a mag and love it but I just bought a shocker sport s/f and it wont pressure up. Whan I screw the tank in there's noth even reading on the regulator gauge.

Thanks

o.k.

I know it's not the gun because I just gassed up the gun directly and it was fine. There's something up with the reg. I have it on the gun vertically but like I said before whan I gas it up through the reg, the reg gauge does'nt even show a reading. So....... I have no idea what's up.

Thanks

The "gassed the gun up directly" part scares me. The shocker can only handle up to 200psi going into the gun without problems, and if you bypassed the max-flo you very well could have damaged the solenoids.
I'm assuming that you turned up the max-flo by screwing the bottom half in, right? Did you try taking the max-flo apart and giving it a good cleaning and greasing? The shocker needs to be greased frequently to work properly.

another reg

Used another reg. for a shot but if that was a bad idea the tank only had enough to even sound one shot so there was prob. no pressure behind on it. On the bottom half part of the Max-Flo, does it have to be screwed up all the way? If so there's my prob.
Thanks

If the reg is working the pressure will build as you screw it in. It will operate between 150 and 200 psi, depending on your barrel and the velocity you want.
