The gaufge on my shuter isnt working for some reason. I unscrewedn the screw to bring up the pressure in the gun, but it isnt working, and the tank was filled, and i even tested it on another gun to make sure it was. There isbnt a leak in my gun, it just wont work,a nd i was wondering if ne one else had this problem and knows how to fix it.

not sure if this is what is wrong..or would even cause this problem..but what I would check first is the air filter (part #37B) on the regulator..see if it is clogged or not...might be that simple...

It cant be that cuz it was like that the first time i put the tank in. Any other suggestions

try changing the actual guage. There might be a defect in the guages that Kingman made.

are you adjusting the pressure with the correct screw?....there are two...you have to use the one on the side (to the right of the gauge) not the one on the bottom...(I don't know what the bottom one is for)....

i never touched the screw o the bottem, but i think i might have found out what it is on mine. If u take off the silver part from the blue part of the regulator ( i dotn know the correcxt names0 there are a few black discs. I think i might have put those in the wrong way when i was fooli g around with my gun. But, i havent tried it yet, so i dont if its fixed yet or not, or if it even makes a difference

oh yeah, does anybody know where i can get a new pair of the screws that keep the guage attached to the dropforward. Since my guage was f***ing up, i took the whole setup off the gun and went with a vertical bottem, The onyl problem was we were playing in a foot of snow, and i lost the screws. Oh yeah, switching those discs around in the guage did fix the problem, so if ur presure wont go up, try doing that, the discs should go inward towards the blue part of the guage

good luck finding those screws...they are metric with an odd thread pitch.,...I looked all over trying to find them..and I still haven't....you might want to get a hold of Kingman and see if you can get them from them...

i cant get mine above 600, is that an ok psi. I have a on off valve on my tank and a anti siphon tube, i am not sure if that has to do with anything.
