A damn fool

Ok, when i bought my turbo valve kit, they gave me a new rod that had two flat sides on it instead of one like on the regular one. My gun was leaking for a while, till i bought a lkapco cup seal, and i couldnt get it to fit on the aftermarket valve rod. The gun still operates at sb 300 ps with the stock rod in the turbo valve, but will the aftermarket one lower my pressure more? How come the lapco cup seal wont screw onto it, should i try screwing it on with plyers, or just use it as it is now. The gun doesn leak now, so im not sure if i should bother trying to put the other ord in it

the new rod with two flat sides are to allow for more flow to the striker...
If you aren't having any re cocking problems....and are running as low as you would like.....there is no need to change the pin....
I found that the lapco cup seal was hard to get onto my new valve pin but went on easy on the stock on...I did end up getting it on my new pin.......it's tight but it will go on..
it's up to you at this point ....if it ain't broke fix it til it is....;)

Yeah, the question is do i fix soething that isnt broken. How did u get it on the other valve pin, and how much will ower my pressure if its only like 1 or 2 psi, but if i caould get an added 15 or so psi lowered, ill switcxh it.

well....that you can't tell til you change it....but if you lower your pressure too the point it won't recock...and then change the pin...it might just allow enough flow to now re cock the gun...
of course this doesn't take into account the FPS you are getting....so Like I said you have to change it to see if it makes a differance for you
and to get it on...you just ahve to twist it on....just hold it real tight...I used a pair of needle nose plyers on the pin..(I gripped the flat sides of the pin with it..you can also grip the seal on the small part that the cup seal guide slides on....Just be careful...)
