GROUP BUILD: Micromatic CO2 Regulator

[daworldisblack]

Andrew , i ended up not having to go to the Hospital after all, so i had a look @ your rig, you can sleep well the Solenoid is good, it just needed opening up & blowing out, probably some debris from the CO2 cylinder ( this is common), i took the liberty to rebuild the rig & leak test it , you are good to go.
Eric if you want yours reworked like Andrew, just pick up a 1/8 to 1/8 NPT hex nipple & bring the rig over, wont take long.

Doc in da house! You the man Errol! I had read to open the CO2 tank's valve prior to hooking the reg up. I had done that as soon as I got it from Andrew (also from a need to fiddle with it lol) so hopefully that did me some good. Glad to hear all is well Andrew! All regs good to go!
