Help save christmas

i have had my lx for awhlie but i haven't shot it in a while and for christmas i got a ule and a benchmark body rail and after 2-3 shots it will start leaking through the lx and it completely depressureizes and i have to gas it up all over again but it starts back. Please help

Ok, I went through all the steps, and when I pul the trigger, not a thing happens, I turned up the velocity, and air started firing out every where. Ive tried the smallest and second smallest carriers along with 1, 2, or 3 shims. And the same thing happens, I finally got one shot off, and then air started shooting out again. Whats wrong?

i just got my lvl 10 and i put it together w/ the biggest carrier that doesnt leak. I gased it up and pulled the trigger and nothing happened. My friend said just keep pulling the trigger over and over until it starts to fire. After ever 75th shot or so the bolt moves about a centimeter forward. My friend said that should become more frequent, but it hasent. Some ppl told me to just put oil down the power tube, but i havent yet. Should I keep pulling the trigger or change something?

Did you try turning up the velocity? Which spring are you using?

[Pbplayer300]

i tried turning up the velocity but then it leaked. i was using the smallest spring.

try going up 1 carrier to see if your having bolt stick. If it leaks down the barrel switch back. If your leaking out the back after that when you turn velocity up you may need a new reg piston. Its an easy fix and can be done in a couple minutes.

If this is it just degas the gun turn out the velocity adjuster all the way out. Take out the spring pack then take out the piston. Replace in opposite order. Should be good after that. But be sure to check to see if your carrier is just too tight first before buying the piston.

even when i go up one carrier the bolt will not move. it leaks down the barrel, but doesn't move.

ok sounds like the reg piston. I had to do the same thing with my first level 10. The old ones dont support the higher pressure. You need to get that part i put the link to and install it

now i have another problem...I gassed up the gun earlier and i had a leak im my macroline. i fixed the leak, but now the trigger is not out(like theres no air in the gun). I dont no what to do.

Thats a real pickle.

You seem to have alot of different problems occuring all at once; difficult to trouble shoot. I had a similar problem recently. In fact, I'm still waiting on a few parts. I would suggest going back to the last configuration you had when the gun actually worked. See if any new problems have spung up while you've been tuning your Level 10. Can't remember if you said you're using CO2, but that stuff gets wicked cold and some of the o-rings may have developed leaks while you've been tuning it and leaking so much. My advice is go back and start over and see if you end up in the same place.

im using nitrogen, im gonna start over i quess

i apologize if this has already been asked but how do u determine the size of the carriers? i dont understand the markings..

[BD_Paintball]

the more lines on the carrier the larger it is. and if it has a dot on the outside that means a half. for example if a carrier has 2 lines and a dot. its a 2.5 carrier.

[Colangela]

simple enough, i thought those lines were threads, thanks

my friends mag is having some problems. He can shoot about 5 to 10 shots and then when u pull the trigger it wont fire. When he pushes on the back of his xvalve it will fire. It looks like there is a little gap in between the valve and the body. The set screw on the bottom is in all the way. We were thinking that maybe the xvalve is not aligning with the gun right. Does anyone else know what might be the problem. thanks
