Stalker, you mis-read his post. He has a 130% spring, not 150% spring.

I don't know what happened, when I pulled the trigger after putting everything in place, the fuse just blew up.... ='(
I really don't know what caused it to blow up

Your fuse blew because you're using a 130% spring. All of the 130% springs I've used are crap and require more power to turn over than a 190% spring... the stupid thing is that they yield the same FPS as a 140% spring.
Swap it to a different spring.
The other thing that could have caused the fuse to blow is improper shimming. If you shimmed it too tight, the gears will bind and if you keep pulling the trigger, the motor will draw more and more current to keep trying to crank the spring - until the fuse pops.

Where can I get another one? And what kind of spec am I looking for here?
Canadian Tire?

Canadian Tire. Bring yours in so you get the right size. A properly upgraded gearbox can handle 15A fuses. I still use a 15A fuse in all my 425fps guns. You can still safely go up higher, but if you have to do that, there is an inefficiency in your system. The highest you should go is 30A, but the lower is better. Most people don't go above 25A in their upgraded guns. If you find your fuse pops at a certain level, it gives you an indication of any issues in your circuit.
