You have to tune the level 10 system. There's a big instruction page of how to do that on the main AO page.

Yes.

The carriers are denoted by the # of dots and rings on their sides.

A dot is a half size. A ring is a full size.

1 dot = .5
1 ring = 1.0
1 dot + 1 ring = 1.5
2 rings = 2.0
2 rings + 1 dot = 2.5

They go from 0.0 to 4.0

So if you're leaking go down a half size. If you're at a 1.5, go to a 1. If you're at a 1.0 go to a 1.5 etc...

before and after every day of play, put about 4 drops of oil in the powertube and move the bolt up and down with your hand to spread the oil among the o-ring in the carrier, then put 2-3 drops of oil in the air intake closest the the valve, then gas up the gun, and take 40-50 clearing shots WITHOUT the barrel on so that the oil coats all the o-rings, and so that the barrel doesnt get slicked up and make the ball curve


theres also a link in my sig to the level 10 installation/tuning thread :)
