    what size carriers do I have?

    So, the guy who sold me my x-valve didn't include all the parts, and now I'm to the point where I need to buy more carriers to fill out my set. The problem is, I don't know which ones I have. I know that more lines = larger size, but I only have five different sizes when there are nine different sizes listed on AGD's website. What am I missing?

    Here's what I got.

    it is not just lines but dots too, the smallest one has no lines or dots, and the next one up has one dot, and the nest is one line, and the next is a line and a dot.......get the pattern. I have tuned four lvl 10's and never had to use the carrier larger than the two lines. As for tuning start with that one till there is a slight leak down the barrel and then move down to the one line and one dot carrier(tne next smallest down).

    Any question call 619-213-6555

        I know how to tune the carriers... that's not the problem. It's the sizes.

        What are these dots you speak of? The little holes on the inside (from the first picture)? If so, then all my carriers have dots, and I need some without dots, right?

          Looks like you have:

          0 (smallest carrier)
          1.5
          2.0
          2.5
          4.0

          full sizes are marked by lines and 1/2 sizes are marked by dots on the outside of the carrier. To make a complete set you need:

          .5
          1.0
          3.0
          3.5

          Nowadays AGD is only supplying 4 carriers with new X Valves.
          0 (installed in power tube)
          .5
          1.0
          1.5
          2.0

                  That's sweet.

                  You know, those dots are so tiny.... I can barely see them without taking pictures of them first. This helps me out a lot. Thanks!
