what noid are you using? the best way to set the lpr is to indeed start at zero and turn till you get it to cycle, then give it another 1/4 turn

Okay so im having some issues now, I have everything together and the ram is operating, but when I air the gun up the sear becomes rock solid, I cant even push it back with my hand. What have I got wrong? I'm not real knowledgeable about how xvalves function but simething us definitly off. I have a video of the setup I will upload tomorrow

see if it will move with the ram removed. maybe there is not enough clearance for it to move.

Demented was right I had to move my ram as far foward as I could possibly put it but I finally got it working! Now just need a fresh fill in the morning and I can tweak it a bit

Anyone else have the issue of the gun not cycling when the tank pressure is at 1000, its seems like 1000 psi is just barely getting me through a hopper, what kind of tanks did yall use with yours?

thats not that uncommon. x valves are air hogs and need lots of pressure to cycle. i can take my tank off my egomag at about 800psi(no more cycles) and still get a hopper + with my shocker.

like renie said it could be your tank reg. what kind are you using?
