[Gotcha3]

I will try changing the carrier then. I appreciate the feedback guys. Thanks!

More of a question. as my lvl 10 seems to be working great.

But I am using in the very smallest Carrier in my gun and if I go up even just one dot it starts to leak down the barrel... If this is normal then why have the bigger carrier's?

Once you start leaking with your smallest carrier you will need to replace your oring and then move up in carrier size.

I am currently using a New carrier O ring from AGD, Just got it from the x vavle parts kit this week. It worked with the 1 dot carrier then near the end of the day It started leaking so I put in the smallest one.

So I guess as long as it don't start leaking again for a long time I'm all set huh?


Edit: I tried using the one line carrier and it leaked right away then I used the one dot carrier tell it leaked again.

It should be fine. did you set the gun up with no shims installed. If not, remove all shims and try again.

I think I have 2 shims in it atm Ill have to check... Not totally clear on what the shims do. Care to enlighten me

The shims should only be used if your bolt does not reset after a Anti-Chop event. If your bolt always reset then there is no need for the shims. The shims are basically used to move the timing of when the lvl10 vents.

The shims can introduce a leak during the process of finding the proper carrier size.

So if I have shims in with the smallest carrier I should try couple sizes up with no shims and it might not leak? I've yet to chop a ball but as soon as I get the battery charger for my e-mag... my revie wont be able to keep up.

what If i leave it how it is? will that prevent any chance of it not re cocking if I do get a anti-chop event?

As mentioned, shims change how far the bolt has to move before it can vent air and reset. Too many shims installed can move the carrier oring too close to the vent hole and may cause a false leak. This leads to the use of a carrier size that is too tight to prevent that leak. If you are not getting any bolt stick, this is probably not the case, but the next time you check your setup it wouldn't hurt to try without any shims installed to see if it makes a difference in how large a carrier size you can achieve before it leaks.

Is this the HP piston part you're referring to, athomas? Or do I need a whole HP piston "kit"?

sorry I was late replying. I was away for a couple of days.

That is the correct piston assembly.

Sorry I am switching topics here, but would THIS also work, I only ask because it is not marked for high pressure as the other one is.

Yes. This is the same high pressure assembly. All new assemblies are high pressure. Tunaman has the latest parts available for sale.

Help please

When and how do I replace the black foam thing (sorry do not know the techniqual term)? Also for what reason would I replace it?

Replace it when you no longer see it there... Clean well, use super glue... or do like alot do and don't bother to replace it.

Thank you much. I was having a heck of a time trying to get my mag to shoot but through reading the postes to this thread and others on AO I got it shooting. I thought the foam had something to do with it but then realized it doesn't but that info will be helpful when it falls off. Otherwise I would have tried to rip it off or some other stupid idea.

Where can I buy a new oring for the powertube on a level 10? I recently just bought a RT valve with a level 10 installed and it leaks down the barrel. The guy I bought it from did say that it sat for a while, so it probably needs to be oiled and have the ring replaced.
