Any advice on this would be really helpful!
So. This has sat on my shelf for almost a year, and, surprisingly enough it hadn't miraculously started to work since the last time I put it down

Just think of it as a shocker, because it's using a shocker solenoid and internals, just a different board (no vision board though, solenoid is plugged directly into the board, as will the eyes be, when I've made another set because the other ones are broken)
The only problem is supposedly had before was lack of a solenoid.
So, I've got a new solenoid, tested it, soldered it, plugged it in, definitely working (clicks when you pull the trigger eyes off).
I go to air it up. I didn't know what the reg was set to (no gauges, no way of measuring), so I turned it all the way down, and increased it by a few turns whilst pulling the trigger. Nothing happens.
It makes all the normal noises whilst airing up, but there's no 'firing' noise at all, and the bolt doesn't move at all.
The only way I've made it do something, is by unscrewing out the right-hand solenoid insert while aired up. A leak starts, but when you fire, there is a quiet firing noise too.
I went through everything testing that it worked, the reg does, the board, the solenoid.
Just wondering about the solenoid inserts now. I read up on ZDSPB about them, but it just said they had to be flush with the body if a stock body, or 2/3 turns inside if a PL body. (I think it started as a stock body, I can't imagine anyone wasting a PL body to mill it down like mine has been)
I should have started with a working shocker to begin with, but I didn't, I just collected all the parts and threw them together, hoping it would work.
The first thing I need help with is the ion reg. How many +PSI is one 360 degrees clockwise turn (of the bottom nut)? (I have searched and looked through ZDSPB but can't find out. I know the operating pressure is 180-200 though)
