hey peops i've got a Unireg on my bottle and it was working flawlessly, then i got a Cyborg and was told to turn it down as i think 500 - 650psi was the out put but when i turned it down it was leaking like hell i've changed the oring and lubed it up but if someone knows how to service them would be very helpful to me.

Unireg! wow I havent seen one of those for years. Where is it leaking from? If its leaking through the hole where you adjust the pressure it's either the regulator seat, the piston o'ring or the piston itself. More than likely it will be the piston thats the problem. With age the pressure relief spring inside softens up and can't take the pressure causing the leak. You can tighten down the nut on the piston therefor putting more pressure on the spring but I would reccomend a new piston. Playing around with pressure relief valves can be dangerous.

Hope this helps.

Thanks John yeah it's coming out from where you wind it in, I think i replaced the seat as well not sure. this is a long shot but do you have any pistons or would it just be cheaper to buy a preset?
