Tuning a Sterling with a reg. - Page 2

Red cocker valve spring, cut down Spyder main spring. It should work wonders for you. If you want to run lower pressures, turn an "hourglass" shape into your valve stem, and enlarge the passages, is what I've heard. Supposedly someone got a Sterling running WELL at ~500psi this way.

Mine is an oldie, running a vertical GX-2 reg. I think around 600 psi, with the springing I've got in it.

Do I cut the spyder main spring to the same size as the stock spring?

Ya I know that co2 isn't very good but I have my own fill station and its cheap. Every were I read on the net says if your running co2 a palmers is the best reg. But this thing is far from consistat. Anybody on the length of the spring?

Its going to be a test and see bases. Cut it down in incitements for 2 circles then when you get close do less and less.
