grrr .. this leak has been plaguing me forever!! First thing, I got my AGD certs at the supertour back in 2001 so I'd like to say I know what i'm doing with a mag. I have owned my mag for 9 years continually upgrading it. I just can't get this issue resolved!!!!
Okay, so now for the problem:
RTPro valve, on/off drilled out, ULT kit, lvl 10 kit, SS PF body tube, docs cocker thread adapter, brand new AM stock rail, hyperframe (also tried with dye 2 finder frame). 2 shims in the ULT kit, 1.0 carrier w 0 shims in the power tube (used to have 2.0 carrier w 2 shims, same leak).
So I started out with 2.0 carrier w 2 shims .. gass up my marker, and it worked fine. THEN I would go outside (cold outside) and I would gass up to a minor leak down the barrel. I changed the carrier to 0.5, no shims, still same leak (currently it has 1.0 w 0 shims, same leak). I would go back into the house (warm) and it would shoot fine, no leak.
GAH!!!!!!!!
So every time I try to play a tourney .. I set up the marker great in my room .. then get to the event only to have to use someone elses marker ... I'm to the point where I want to throw this thing in the river :(
If someone can't help me soon .. i swear it! :P
Anyhow .. back to the point. I push on the lvl 10 bolt with dowel, and I hear the pitch change but someone told me that if you do that it will leak no matter what. I have changed out everything in the power tube, so what else can I do to fix this?
Can anyone help me? I have been struggling with this for about 6 months and i'm at the end .. i really am almost ready to sell it and buy something else :(
Thanks in advance for your help .. and I really dun wanna spend money to have someone fix this only to get it back and have it do it again when it's taken outside into the cold :(
