one more servo problem

hey guys,
i am using the bs2 sx and using a ts-53 servo. Here is the code i am
using:

again:
for b2 = 100 to 200
for b3 = 1 to 5
pulsout 7, b2
pause 15
next
next
goto again

for some reason the servo receives the signal but it goes cw
everytime. Even when i run this:

pulsout 7, 150 or
pulsout 7, 100 or
pulsout 7, 200

it doesn't matter which one i run, the servo always goes cw. Am i
doing something wrong? any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Jon

    Try a much larger number for the pulsout value. For my BS-2 I use a range
    from 175 - 1200.

    Try a value of 1550 for the PULSOUT -- should center the servo. A value of
    425 should move it all the way one direction and 2700 all the way to the
    other end of the travel.

    with the bs2x, you need b2 in the range 900-3000
