loosen the nut in the center and tighten down the screw but that will only get you a few lbs so it depends on what size spring is in it usually they are like 5-7 or 11-13 so to go more than what the springs are rated at you need a boost controller

haha ....wow, sounds like your missing the spring there cheif...or your not screwing it out enough....the bolt should be sticking out...but im guessing you did that...so the guy who sold it to you ripped you off and you need to find a spring for it...
