HELP!!

[orryn]

Ok, I just go my impulse today. I read through the manual looking for anything special I needed to do before I gased the gun up. I saw nothing so I screwed in my CO2 tank, yes it has an anti-siphon tube. Anyway, when I gased it up it started spraying and leaking CO2 (looked like it was coming from the regulator and the barrel). I took out the CO2 tank and I read the gauge, looked like 300+, bad for the impy. So I looked through the manual to find out how to lower the pressure. I found it and did the proper thing. I re-screwed in my tank and even more CO2 seemed to be coming out. When I looked back at the gauge, it looked like it had uncoiled?!!?!?!? What am I doing wrong?

Note: it is a vert. reg impulse

is your o-ring busted?

I checked the o-rings, they look fine.

I fixed it.

What were you doing wrong?

[orryn]

the manual said to adjust the pressure, turn clockwise to raise the pressure, and counter clockwise to lower the pressure. Well, they never said at what orientation. If you look at the reg from one way clockwise raises and pressure and from the other angle counter-clockwise does. I was looking at it from the wrong orientation. So I was actually raising the pressure...not a good thing.

Hah i noticed that too in my manual. I got lucky though..i raised it the right way :)
