** Official Level 10 Problems Thread **

It's about 1 turn from venting. How much difference in FPS velocity do you usually get in one turn on a 68 Classic?

side note: I gotta say, I'm VERY happy with the performance of my new J&J Ceramic! I ran my test shots through two different barrels and the Ceramic REALLY shoots straight! I am going to OWN in my next game!

i got to about page 3 of this thread, didnt find my prob, got lazy, so im posting it. Please read and help, mabey Tom?

ok, me and my friend both got our X-valves at the same time, we oiled em up, put em in and adjusted till they fired, but after a shot or two, the bolt seems to not fully extend and makes an air puffing sound. It seems like im running on co2 or something becuase i can shoot like 1 shot per second or two normally, but any faster and the bolt seems as if it needs time to recharge, so if i try to fire more than 1 ball per second it's like the valve is out of breath,( if i put my ear to the vavle i can hear it recharge - sounds like air if filling the valve - "shuuuuuuch") im using a 68 3000 PMI tank, fairly new, the output says 850 on the website. im using a ULT trigegr too. different springs only made it stick, i have tried various carriers and shims, and messed with the velocity... and i think all that stuff is set right, i watched the quick intall vid for the L10 help ?


P.S. another wierd problem occasionally - my bolt would get stuck in my barrel, not "bolt stick" from a spring, but it would actually stop inside my barrel and i had to get it unjammed using a stiff sqeegy, it was quite hard. Trying to pull my barrel out would only stretch the spring on the bolt. mabey bore size? (14' dye Xcel) im getting a 10' ultralight soon.

i'd think if all level 10's were the same, or required the same set-up of carriers and such that they should be pre-tuned, but im guessing they are all slightly different.

LVL X

I just ordered the new RT ULE custom. Are the level ten and ule trigger kit setup from the factory or will i have to dink around a bit?

[Kevn 419]

sry if this has already been answered but anyway, i just got my lvl 10 and installed it on my classic rt. it keeps leaking down the barrel and out the back of the valve, ive tried most of the carriers and it is still leaking. i also have a agd flatline reg. on my nitro tank and i am about to clean that out (have not cleaned it before). would the reg. be contributing to the leak? would it stop the leak if i cleaned out the reg? or is it just the lvl 10?

[BD_Paintball]

if its laaking down the barrel then you have to go to a smaller carrier. and if its leaking out where you turn the velovity up or down then turn you velocity down. my x-valve leaked out the back and i tuned the velocity down and it was all better. also use alot of oil on the carrier o-ring, lube it up when ever you have a chance.

Lvl. 10 X-valve sticking

My cousin has Lvl. 10 X-valve and it is sticking forward when he raps off shot on a double finger I-frame and it didnt when he used the stock single trigger frame anyone know anything about how to solve this problem?

[BD_Paintball]

make sure all the screws are tight and go to the largest carrier that doesent leak. change the carrier to a bigger one. that should fix the problem.

[Plazmic]

Okay, I finally got a chance to really rip some balls with my 68 and the new lvl 10, but I was breaking balls like crazy! I'm not sure if that was maybe crappy balls and a tight J&J Ceramic barrel, so I'm going to let that go until I play again. The thing that worries me, though, is that I went through a 68/3000 air tank in about 700 shots. Does that sound right?

[BD_Paintball]

yea that sounds good. i get about 700-800 on my x-vavled mag with a 88 3000. and about 500 on my 48 3000.

[Plazmic]

Holy Crap! I get almost 1500 from this same bottle on my Piranha! I tell ya...that's a bummer.

[BD_Paintball]

but im glad i got 2 tanks and a friend with a fill station

Hi

I have a retro valve and I am setting up my level 10, I have been through the detailed setup insturctions without result.

With the smallest carrier and 2 shims it was leaking down the barrel.


The smallest carrier is the only one that feels snug, the others are loose.
I have the medium spring.
My input pressure is 800psi (air system vents above that)
and my velocity adjuster is as high as that goes before it starts venting

So I took out the shims, now it wont fire at all.

With one shim, it doesnt fire at all.

So I put two shims in, and it leaks down the barell again.

I dont know what else I can change.
Can someone help?

[Joni]

Use one shim, then use the largest carrier that wont make it leak down the barrel, and use the smallest spring. Make sure that the bolt can move freely in the body.

[No Excuse]

The only carrier I can use is the smallest one, all the others leak.

Ill try with one shim and the small spring thanks.

By small spring you mean the stock non lvlx spring?

[Joni]

Yes, thats correct. What spring are you using now? BTW, make sure the powertube is lubed.
