I just spent 300 dollars on a new valve and i cant get it to work. I change those little gold things but is still cant get it to work! It either leaks ALOT, doesnt shoot(locks up) or when i actually get it to shoot...the velocities vary from 10fps to like 600..WHAT CAN I DO?!! HELP~!!

What input pressure are you running? Have you read thru the threads about lx and watched Miscues video? Here's a few links if you haven't,

Find a carrier and o-ring fit that provides a decent amount of friction on the bolt stem. Test fit it before you put it in the gun. Remove all of the shims from the PT if there are any in there.

Put some oil in the valve and before you gas it up. Turn up the velocity until it will shoot reliably and then test things out.

What gun is this being used on? You might need to change the on/off pin length.

Please read through the threads posted above. Also, please read the Level 10 setup instructions. It's the HUGE image that you see when you open the site.

Also- let's be straight about this- We need to know some DETAILED info to help you. Saying "Automag Powerfeed" does us no good. "RT Pro w/ Intelliframe on an 850psi preset Crossfire tank. " THAT'S what we want.

I also suggest watching the video that came with your gun, it will enlighten you greatly.

You might have got this info already but just in case,
PT- Power Tube, the stem part of the valve assembly that the blot goes over
Shims- the little silver rings that go between the PT tip and the carrier
Carrier- the thicker gold band that goes down into the power tube after the backing washer and holds the power tube oring.
Using the diagram, w/ the parts numbered, on this link http://www.automags.org/resource/level10/index.shtml parts 1-6 will be inside the power tube. O rings 6 and 2 should all ready be installed.
Most people start w/ the middle spring, the one that looks like someone nipped an end off. The size of the carrier would be determined by which one offers a little resistance but not to much. If the bolt isn't moving try the next larger carrier, same oring tho. Bands equal one size and dots equal 1/2. From what I've seen and for me also 2 carriers seems to be a good set up also. As BlackVCG mentioned sometimes simply turning up the velocity will get things working also as the level x takes more pressure to operate. Hope that helps!:)
