lvl 10 questions

[crazyjoe12]

so im still having trouble getting my lvlx not to leak. is it possible if i use too small a carreir that will cause leaking? my gun is leaking down the barrel, ive tried different carriers and spring combos but im still just not sure what im doing wrong.

[BiNumber3]

smaller carriers should reduce leak, what sizes do u have, and how big is the leak

[Wanta B Sniper]

Yea, what size carriers do you have? and is the black carrier o-ring lubed generously?

Also, how many shims do you have in it? If you have too many it will leak all the time as well.

[Wanta B Sniper]

"X" is 10 in Roman numerals There is a reason it's called the "X-Valve" I believe.

i had the o carrier in then i went up one and it still leaked. i have had 2 shims in the whole time. i also tried the gold red and silver springs and the silver spring i tried in 3 different lengths.

[gimp]

Did you try it without the shims in?

Start with a fresh carrier o-ring and tune from scratch:


Remove all LVL 10 shims.
Pick 1 carrier o-ring and stick with it.
Use oil.
Use #2 carrier (2 lines, no dots, or largest one you have).
Shoot 1000 shots to break in o-ring.
Move broken-in o-ring to largest carrier that doesn't leak.
Use red spring for 285 fps. Use longer spring for higher velocity or to be more gentle (fragile paint), shorter spring for lower velocity or to be less gentle (thicker shell).
If bolt sticks after encountering a jam, add a shim.

I have a follow up question. Sorry I do not by any means mean to jack the thread but the Leak be a slight leak or could it be a major sounding leak? Slight hiss or a continual rush of air?

There shouldn't be any leak.

Most level 10 leaks are little leaks, not gushes or rushes of air.
