    New Reg Pack Installed - Now Vents

    OK, Level 10 worked fine (Classic Valve) but velocity would only go to 250 fps before reg vented. I sent for a new reg pack and installed it. Now the reg vents or the pressure is so low that the marker won't fire. What am I doing wrong?

    So, you installed a new regulator piston assembly and it still vents before you get up to operating pressure? That is indeed strange. Are you sure you didn't get the new and old regulator piston assemblies mixed up by mistake?
    Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

      Yup... The color of the brass really gives away the new one. Other than that, how can you tell the difference?

        did you grease the piston up before installing it?

          The new part might be bad.

            That sounds about right to me, call AGD and see what they'll do about replacing it.

              Lee, No I didn't grease it...I oiled it. What kind of grease? Any way to tell a low pressure from a higher pressure piston?
