Level X question (I'm frustrated)

[phatty123]

I have a level ten on my retro valve. I only got a partial set of carriers from the seller. He tuned it and tested it in his mag and everything was working fine. When I put it in my minimag and aired it up it just leaks air pretty quickly down the barrel. I moved to the next smallest carrier he sent me and it leaks just as bad. I have the 1 and the .5 carrier. They are the second and third smallest. I also have 2 shims in it. What could it be? Its really frustrating me. I put new orings in the on/off just incase it was that, but it didnt help. I also putting 1k psi to the valve, but it also leaks all the way down to 400 psi.

Thanks,
Barry

Well thanks for eveyones help. Finally it is fixed. My local pball store owner hates automags and pretty much dumps his parts on me for cheap. Today when I was getting a fill I asked him if he had any orings that would fit the inside of the carriers. While he was looking I saw he had a level 10 kit. I went through it and it had all the carriers except the 2.0 carrier. It had extra orings, shims, all three springs, the cd, bolt foamies, and all the original level 7 parts. The only thing it was missing was the 2.0 carrier. Well he sold it to me for twenty bucks. I took it home and replaced the backing washer and shims and installed a new oring in the 1.5 carrier. I put it all back to together and it works perfectly. Also he is selling me an orginal brand new automag rt and a slightly upgraded 68 classic power feed with level 10 for 150 bucks. They both have air america armeggedon tank regs on their drop forwards as well. i don't have the money, but I'm putting them on layaway. Damnit I love the good deals.
