Quick Disconnect

Question, I was reading about the remaining pressure in the LX with a fixed tank setup.

I have a SS line, with a quick disconnect. Do I *need* a slide check? Or will the QD do alright?

Once you turn off the air supply, you have maybe 1-2-3 shots left. Pull the trigger to let out all the air you can, depending on your settings, you may even be able to move the front of the bolt a bit to release a little more air. All this should leave you with about 300psi +/- 100, so a slide check or pro-connect is not NEEDED but they do help. I personally dont use any right now. If there is enough pressure left in the lines though, you have a chance of blowing out the o'ring in the female part of the Q/D.

Depending on your set-up and tank, there are ways of releasing all of the pressure before disconnecting the lines.

LX problem i think

i have had my LX in for a few weeks and it worked perfectly then the other day i gased it up and a whole lot of air came out of the barrel like a bat out of hell. it was by no means a small leak. i kow the it may leak sometimes when the o-ring gets fitted but i thought thats just a small leak. whats the deal?

[Havoc_online]

you may have the same problem of a bolt stem that fell out of place. have you done anything like change bodies or barrels?

[la690]

nope. left it alone

[la690]

nope. left it alone.

LEVEL 10 BOLT DOES NOT MOVE AT ALL!!

the bolt doesnt move at all when i set up my lx kit. yes, i have the pressure set very high. output is at 800 and velocity is all the way up. i tried just about every combination of springs, shims and carriers and no luck.

[Havoc_online]

what are the details of your set-up? how many turns did you give the velocity adjuster?

check to see if the bolt alone fits in the body and barrel ok.

[drummr6]

i have the number 2 carrier and no shims. shortest spring. i tried pretty much all the combinations. and i know that the velocity is all the way up becuz it vented in my face and then i turned it down like a half turn. im pretty sure the bolt fits becuz it moved sum b4, but a very small amount and that was when i turned the pressure down, which makes no sense to me.

[Havoc_online]

take the valve out and the bolt off. stick the bolt in the body and make sure it fits.

these may be some dumb questions but I'll ask anyway.

are you sure the o'ring is in the proper side of the carrier? (the one where it fits nice and easy)

did you put the carrier in the powertube o'ring side first?

are you using the new powertube tip(the one with a wrench style top)

[drummr6]

The bolt does fit in the body. and to all those questions, yes.

still getting chops
shot my emag today or at least tried
current set up:
Emag
Vert Feed body
Halo b (fresh batts)
Freak+stock barrel
geddon running ~1000 PSI output
middle spring
#1 carrier
1 shim
(as set by agd techs when it was in 2 weeks ago)
no matter how i configure the gun it still chops 4 bounce paint. What am i doing wrong?

drummr6 Throw in your level 7 parts and see if the marker works properly.

Gecko back your input psi to about 800-850. See if the 1.5 carrier leaks, if it doesnt, see if the 2.0 carrier leaks. Make sure your spring has the cut side on the bolt. The AGD techs may have left you with a carrier that was a little tight so you wouldnt have to break it in. That would make it hit harder due to the need for more pressure. Go for the biggest carrier that doesnt leak. If you want it even softer, goto the long spring(after trying the bigger carriers)
