This project is already a couple years old, so don't expect miracles. I already have the lighter valve spring in the tool box, purchased by accident. Thought I was purchasing a lighter hammer spring. Sounds like I need the lighter hammer spring (shorter as you put it). I get the short enough to have play in it. I'll look at Hill's site to see what they've got.
That's all part of the education. I'd never taken the valve apart before. I tried the lighter valve spring so had to take the valve apart. Amazed at how simple it is. Gives me confidence to tear it apart yet again.
Just reset the regulator a few minutes ago. Perhaps tomorrow I'll get out and see how close it is to 1600 psi. Also looks like I scalped an o-ring putting it back together last time. Pressure was down to Zero. Oh, the joys of tinkering. Makes getting it all back together all that much sweeter.
Shoot straight!
