Got a new x-valve got some minor issues.

[nathanjones008]

Good morning to all. I got a brand new x-valve installed by tuna with a ULT. Anyhow i played yesterday and i noticed it is extremely easy to short stroke. In fact i did it several times a game. I almost never had this issue with my classic valve. Is there some tuning i need to do?

I just a side note i am not having any shoot down(when i am not short stroking) issues and i have using a pure engery 68/4500.

thanks

you need to pull the trigger all the way back and fully release each pull

So i guess there is a learning curve with comparison of the x-valve

Thanks

Thanks for the advice! It just odd that last time i had my old mag that i sold w/ x-valve(3 years ago). I do not recall having having a noticeable short stroking issue at all. But i will keep plugging along.

if you still have the original on/off, you could just swap it out.

another option is to have Luke modify your sear. Basically drills a new hole for the clevis slightly higher than stock location. Ever-so-slightly increases the trigger pull force but also reduces short-stroking (does not eliminate it though)

Trigger stops help too.

Is this mod you suggested only for the ULT set up or is it also compatiable with the stock on/off valve?

Thanks.

This is the modification discused in the thread I posted. This is best for ULT since it will shorten the pull but also make it heavier. With a regulat on/off you may not like the added force needed to pull the trigger.

I reinstalled the standard on/off due to short stroking... I just could not get used to it. After i did that I did call Ninja Paintball and sent them my tank and had a 1200 psi regulator put on it so now it RT's like a son of a gun... It feels great and can go full auto at 19 bps if need be

Thanks for the info. Two questions when you got your adjustable reg did you reinstall the ULT or did you return the original on/off? Also how much was the ninja adjustable reg?
