Just an information for those who will play with their regulators, the brass screw used to empty the reservoir should be tighten really strong!
My Wildcat was loosing 20 bars in 1 hour, some soapy water on that screw helped my to identify the leak.

Damn! I've got another leak.
5 bar per hour...
I didn't change the O-ring, do you guys think it's mandatory?

Tip, if you don't have any spare o'rings try using the other side of that one (give it a turn), it may not work but i've solved some leaks with that tip

I ordered a Huma for my Wildcat. It's got to be the weakness of the FX. I'm not one to settle for 'stock' when I know there is a better part.

Hi there,
I am a bit disappointed...
After having installed the regulator set to 140 bar, I only got around 870 fps with the JSB 25.4gr and the spring nut screwed to its maximum.

Another thing, have you went through all the adjustments on the hst nut or have you just maxed it out? Too much hst will in fact decrease velocities, start low and slowly (i would way 1/2 turns at each time) go increasing it until you reach the point that the velocities doesn't increase anymore, at that point if you give more hst your velocities will come down with a higher ES. If you can't then reach your desired velocity try with more reg pressure as Chuck said. Regards

Hello,
First of all, thanks a lot for answering my questions, I really appreciate.
Regarding the regulator pressure, I just know it is set to 140 bar because I asked Huub to set it for me. To be totally transparent, I forgot to mention the required pressure in my order, Huub contacted me to ask and set it. Really prefessional !
So, to summarize, I didn't check (I don't have a gauge to check) but I am confident.
Mentalist is for sure pointing me on the right direction.
I stupidly thought that tensioning the spring to its maximum would have set the max power.
I will test the better approach you mentionned.
(sorry for my bad English)

Hi Fellow Shooters.
Was out doing a little hunting and went to take a shot on a nice fat bunny at 65 yards and the shot sounded kind of flat like the air pressure was low. I knew I just filled it, 230 bar. The pellet hit about 10" low and the bunny took off at warp 5. So cocked the gun and picked out a fence post about 50 paces away and sure enough another flat shot and the pellet hit about 10" low from the knot I was aiming at. So I headed back to the homestead, got out the Chrony and sure enough the velo was only 576 fps average of a full mag. What the heck? So down to the gun room started checking every thing, transfer port and barrel in alinement, plenty of air, no leaks so figure the reg took a dump. Yea I read this thread before I bought the gun. So ordered a Huma for the wildcat. Put it in and got everything back together. I will charge the gun tomorrow, and see if that fixed it. Any suggestions if that does not work? Is it possible the hammer spring broke. I did not touch that at all. Sorry, I don't have a gauge to check the chamber pressure on the side. I'll order one tomorrow, is that fitting on the side BSP thread?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Hi CH, From what you describe I think it is unlikely that your regulator "took a dump" as you suspect. I think it is more likely that your breech o-ring broke.
