Does anyone have any ideas on how to cure this?

i got my level 10 in my retro to stop leaking, but when i go to shoot, i pull the trigger, there is resistance, but it dosen't shoot. the trigger will come back forward. whats wrong?

Try a shorter spring.

[rmhawk]

Definately go shorter spring. Mine did the same thing and i figured out that the bolt didn't quit fit into my new armson barrel. So i went shorter spring and put a little oil on the inside of the barrel and played with it for about 4 entire days of paintball. Now the barrel and bolt match up fine and i went to a bigger spring.

quick question. when your putting in the different carriers does it go plastic washer, metal washer, carrier with o-ring in it, then the powertube tip?

[rmhawk]

NO! It goes plastic washer, carrier (o-ring first) then the shims(metal washers) then the power tube tip. Sometimes you don't even need the shims. Mine runs on 1.0 carrier with no shims and medium spring.

plastic washer
carrier o-ring first
shims (optional)
power tube tip

in that order

my lvl 10 is totally pissing me off

first trial - 2.0 carrier leaks

2nd trial - go through the carriers till a 0 carrier which wont shoot, even when i turn up the velocity

3rd trial - i go to a 0.5 carrier again and it starts a tiny tiny constant leak down the barrel

basically the problem is a 1 carrier is too big, and an 0 carrier is too small. and now it just plain ol leaks! and dont stop! whats wrong w/ my lvl 10?!

thanks in advance

start all over with a new o-ring and don't put in any shims yet.

[hAppy]

are you sure i need to try over w/ a new oring... that sucks... ill try over as soon as i get more air

are you sure there might not be any other reason?

[rmhawk]

pretty sure. I went through all the carriers with one o-ring and they all leaked. Then i switched to one of the other carrier o-rings that came with the kit, started at 1.5, leaked a little, then went to 1.0 carrier, hasn't leaked since. i have 1.0 carrier, no shims and small spring. went through two cases of paint without one chop. and i use the cheap stuff, nelsplat, $30 a case.

on the air situation, get yourself a scuba tank with a fill station. can get a descent tank for about $100 on ebay. Fill station about $50. Then get the tank filled for $5 and it'll last a month, depending on how much you play. Worth it in the long run. charge your friends a couple bucks to fill their tanks! lol

remember, use the same carrier o-ring while tuning your level 10, only switch once you have used all the carriers and it leaks, like you have done.

[hAppy]

thanks for the info, a wasted oring damn lol thanks man
how many shots did you shoot to break in the oring?

[rmhawk]

my oring broke in pretty fast. 3-500 shots probably. Thats why its nice to have a scuba tank. you can shoot it and shoot it and just keep filling up.

Level 10 question

There is 4 springs in the level 10 kit,what is the longest
one, is it the one whit the cut of coil ?
What spring is most soft on paint?
What is the main purpose of the shims?

My setup at the moment is the #1 carrier , no shims and the longest visible spring.
I got no leaks,but im braking tons of paint on bolt and barrel,they always brake 1 cm in the barrel.
Chronoed at 280-290

When i play i got like 10 ball brake on 500 paintballs.



Please help me
