My Huben has 2 gauges - one for the air cylinder and one for the regulator volume chamber.
After rebuilding the regulator - replaced the o-rings and lubed up the bellevue washers, I've been keeping an eye on the gauges looking for leaks, etc.
Over the past week, the air cylinder gauge has been steady at 185, but the regulator gauge has been dropping slowly, first 170 and now a week later 160. Is this just the regulator "settling" in after the rebuild or is there a leak? Or is this so-called "regulator creep". I would have thought with a leak somewhere in the gun, the gauge on the air cylinder would drop too?
