Over the weekend I finaly finshed installing my CO2 system into one of my tanks n found im lost on something here. What should the nob be set on? The co2tank is wide open n the nob i guess is some where set in the middle or so. The needles at 40. Ill post up the right number when im home.So what am asking is where should the valve be set at? Hi lo? Right now im at .5-1bps ok for now small plamt load
 
I have m975 or something i got it off a floormodle brannew no box or anything.
 
here's the instructions for that regulator. its says working pressure should be about 10psi, but you may have issues with the needle valve if you keep it this low. lots of folks increase the working pressure to about 30psi

Thanks but i might have done some steps backwards. So the fine tunning of bps comes from the needle valve?
 
Pressure is set with the large knob on the front. This will control how much co2 wants to go through the needle valve. The needle valve is used to fine tune how much co2 actually goes into your tank.
