New X valve need help

[OXidE]

OK so i got my x valve and it leaks down the barrel so i need to get a bigger powertube spacer but i cant get the one that is in there out. also when i got the valve it had the parts kit with it but i had to put in the shims and the last oring in my self.

To get the oring carrier out, use your field strip screw. Thread it into the carrier and tug it out.

BUT- before you do that. Gas up the gun. It is leaking out the barrel at this point. Put your finger in the breech and wiggle, then push on the bolt. If the leak stops, take out a shim. If it just changes the sound of the leak, go to a 1/2 size SMALLER carrier.

ok i got that out and stopped the leak but now it wont shoot?? any thoughts

Well, what'd you do to stop the leak? Remove the shims? Smaller carrier?

Also, what spring are you using?

Have you tried upping the velocity?
