Quite the opposite. I meant that I bought it from someone on the board with multiple posts so I would doubt that the regulator would be bad. Prob just me trying to justify that its NOT a regulator problem.... but sounds like it is :(

Going to start trying to take it off tonight.

10 bucks says its the regulator in the valley (I know you dont want to hear that)....the WD one. Also I think running a stock reg and a modded one will F a regulator up most of the time the modded one. And I have seen 3 instances now where a regulator that has been used and worked fine, be bad after it sat awhile.....

I agree. I'm not saying that because they are mismatched it is going to max pressure. It is either stuck/inoperative or not receiving a signal. :hug:

What I'm saying is that by running two regulators with different flow curves/calibrations it will be extremely difficult to get the tune correct.

Well, at least what I feel is correct. ;)

I was talking to Toby and he said he had a similar issue once and he let it run for like 20 minutes and it just became unstuck and never had a problem again?

I was going to tap on the FPRs later witha screwdriver and see if I can get them to do anything, but I dunno. Maybe?

i had a problem when i put the stock regulator back in, stuck at full pressure. i would start it and run it for 5 min at a time and it un-stuck itself after 4 or 5 trys.
