** Official Level 10 Problems Thread **

[ThePest]

my carrier is the one with no dots and no line, 2 shims, and im using the smallest spring

[Plazmic]

You may very well need to go to the next larger carrier.

Nitro

Do you NEED nitro to work a lvl 10 bolt or can you use Co2 with an expansion chamber?

[Plazmic]

Co2 is fine for the level 10. You need nitro for the X-valve and for the Retro Valve.

[ClouD]

ya pest, try the one with 1 dot. if that doesnt leak, then try the one with 1 dot/1 line. and if that one leaks a little, then if its a new lvl 10, the oring isnt broken in yet, so shoot a lot of shots out of it, and that might help. but if it leaks a lot then go back to the 1 dot.

[Onryou]

I'll just get right to the point.

#0 carrier, no shims and the symptoms point to me needing to go down a carrier size. I haven't taken many shots with it, but when i squeeze the trigger the leak lessens but does not go away entirely. What should I do?

[Plazmic]

Have you tried a different o-ring in the #0 carrier?

[Onryou]

when my kit arrived all the carriers already had o-ringsin them and it had no spares, I haven't tried other o-rings becuase I would have to remove them from the othe carriers and risk stretching them.

[Plazmic]

Did you get this kit new? It's okay to remove the o-rings adn move them around. That's kind of the point of having mulitpole o-rings and miltiple carriers. The o-rings are so small that the factory can't get them exactly the same saze with each production, so they are slightly different sizes. You'll need to swap them around until you find one that works for you. Don't worry about stretching them.

[Onryou]

thanks for the help. I finally got it all tuned and then i started leaking at the on/off so i just went through and replaced every o-ring in the entire valve and its up and running fine.

[Plazmic]

That's great! Glad we could help. I had the smae thing happen with my on/off when I put in the level 10. I wonder if that's just a coincidence or what....

[trevorjk]

alright solve this one for me

ok i was running the 1.5 carrier with 2 shims for over a year now had no problems what so ever... my ult had 4 shims very bouncy but could never sweet spot...

today playing i was doing fine then 3rd game my trigger got extremly bouncy and i could very easily sweet spot it so im thinking cool no big deal although it did kinda worry me then towards the end of the third game air just started to shoot down my barrel


so i just took it apart now and started from scratch the only carriers that keep the the valve from leaking down the barrel are 2 and under so i fixed the leak

but...

now i cant get the pin to pressurize so there is no pressure behind the trigger at all infact it doesnt even charge once so i cant even shoot my gun...



is this directly involved with the level 10? or is it something with the valve?

on a side note i tried both ult and stock on/off no difference wont pressurize..... and a few days ago i had a similar problem fixed it but my stock on/off was controlably fast we figured over 25 cps it was shooting so i put the ult back in and it worked fine again


any suggestions?

[team2face]

k well. I have just got a xvalve and the guy i bought it from took out the lvl 10. So i got my tech to get the lvl 10 out of my classic valve into my xvalve and he said he aired it up it blew air out the barrel. The tech worked all night and couldnt find out wat was wrong with it. I am goin to work on when i get it back. I dont think they know wat they are doing please help me i really want to get my x valve working

[ChucktheMAGician]

I'd make sure it's installed properly and if so try the next smaller carrier until the leak stops.

[team2face]

the guy didnt send anymore carriers
