Ive got Marzocchi Dirt Jumper 2 100mm w/20mm Dropouts forks on my Kona Hoss and there a bit soft and i want to stiffen them, Theres a car valve adjustment on the right fork, What do you pump the forks up with and does that stiffen them? Theres also a capped bolt under the right fork, What is it for?

On the Left fork theres a Allen key bolt under the left fork, What is it for?

yes add air for more preload.

rebound.

downloading the manual would be a good idea.

Do you pump it with normal air? When i let a little air out a bit of watery oil came out too like Wd40

Make sure you use a shock pump not a tyre pump!

For 15psi would it matter?
