sigh i finally get my lvl 10 in and i cant seem get it to work correctly...
alright im using an rtpro input pressure @950 (if that makes a difference)
Following the instructions on the site I started with the carrier with 2 grooves on it and no dots.. LEAKED HEAVILY from barrel.. (im talking a 100 psi/a sec).. assuming it was the described barrel leak i upped the velocity hoping it would stop. It actually seemed to get worse right up until the point wher air came out of the back of the gun..
now down to 2500 psi :( .. i figured it was the wrong carrier... same situation now 2200 psi... went to the 1.5 carrier which very snug on the back of the bolt and got same result yay 1800psi... convinced now that it wasnt the carrier but either the spring and/or shims i began to try diffferent combinations to no avail... i put back in the non lvl 10 componants just to make sure it was the kit and not my gun and my gun worked as normal...
*note i did the thing where you install the lvl10 with no shims and push on the bolt face while its leaking to hear if it changes tone.. and it didnt change at all
So basicaly facts are:
pretty sure I have the carrier picked right (the one wiht one solid line and no dots)
Heavy venting from barrel..... about 100 psi a sec.. (which might i add gets annoying when you have to drive 30 min to fill your tank to 3000 only to test somehting and have to go back and refill and expensive too
No change in springs or increase in velocity made the leak stop or even slow (unless you count when the velocity went up enought to make it vent out back of gun instead of front
gun works fine with Non lvl 10 parts...
ANY SUGGESTIONS AS TO WHAT I COULD BE DOING WRONG OR WHAT THE PROBLEM IS WOULD BE GREATLY APRECIATED
thanks in advance
