Try backing the regulator out all the way to see how low you can get it; it should only go down to about 20psi. Check to see what the gauge reads at zero input pressure. > And one more thing.

What clearances are you adjusting your valves to? I like to do .004/.006 for intake/exhaust. This will be a bit quieter and won't harm anything. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
