Remove the gauge, add a small amount of blue loctite 242 to the threads; only about a thread or twos worth. Then screw it back in and tighten if carefully with a wrench if you can and try again.
Or if you don't want to do that, call up or e-mail PBK or Macdev, whichever you got it from and ask them the best course of action. They may just have you send it back to them and they'll replace the gauge or do what they need to do.

i took off the first time and applied sieze tape to it. but it doesnt seem like its coming from the threads. when the gauge sucks in when you turn on the air it seems to be leaking from there.

A ram gauge is something you put into the ram chamber after you remove the ram and ram body. It's how you read your lpr pressure since the gauge on the Cyborg only tells you hpr pressure.
Sounds like the gauge is bad. Call up and return it to the place you purchased it from. Sounds like a faulty gauge, which can happen.

Sounds like a bad gauge. Call tomorrow and send it back. They'll replace the gauge once for free under warrenty. I know from experience, I blew my ram gauge the first time I used it... lpr was just a -tad- to high. :rolleyes:

Everyone makes mistakes. Just don't break her though.

no, the cyborg is fine. just got to get a new gauge for the ram. just call me the gauge killer. going to a paintball field just to dial it in this weekend. shoting at the balcony in my apartment just isn't cutting it. plus i need to dial in my tippmann as well, just got the qloader for it.
