Hi

I think these are the same internals as my Marz All Mountain SL's 2006 ish. Google AMSL pressures and use them - you may need to do a bit of digging.

There are two camps:

1. Set negative pressure to that recommended (from memory think 73psi). Use no pressure in positive and ramp PAR up for bottom out.

2. As above for negative but use 30-40psi in positive chambers and use small amount of PAR.

Think I have Negative 73, positive 30 and 35 in either leg and 10 PAR, but might be making that up.

Worth persevering as once set up they are brilliant!

if they're the 2003 (grey legs ECC on the right leg and qr), then equal positive pressure in both positive chambers (outer valve on the left leg and under the ecc on the right) until you get 25% sag standing up positioned as if you're descending. Then pump up the negative (middle valve on the left leg) until just before the travel starts to reduce.
