** Official Level 10 Problems Thread **

I'm awfully close

I'm not sure how to tell what level automag I have, but I bought it in early 1995. I am running it on a remote system and I have added the autorepsonse grip and trigger. I have the LX kit installed and it is working as expected. I am using the #2 carrier with the shortest spring. The the #2.5 carrier (I am assuming that the dot mean .5) leaked down the barrel. It will not fire at all with the middle or long spring. It shoots fine and resets if it pinches a ball. However, it will only go to about 250 fps. If I try to crank the velocity up and higher, it leaks out the back of the gun. Am I at the limit and 250 fps is what I should expect? Is there something else I need to do? Should I be using one of the longer springs?

Thanks for any help.

i had that problem. i couldnt go above 265fps without it blowin out the back i changed the reg piston and now its all better.
airgun has them i think it was like $20

gcube take a shim or even both out, see if that does the trick.

treyco as fire said, you need a new reg. piston.

I just got a level 10 kit for my micromag and the bolt will not fit in the breach. Any Ideas?

i just got LX for my rtpro and last night i put the second carrier in with 2 shims and the middle spring. i gased it up and it started leaking down the barrel which is supposed to be normal right? i ran out of air so i dicided i would fallow the more detaied intructions today and get more air. i took the powertube tip off and the shims out this morning but i can't get the carrier out(i had a hard time getting it in yesterday too) and it looks like the little black oring on the outside of the carrier is mostly gone because i found lots of black pieces in the powertube. did i do anything wrong, and how do i get the carrier out?

another thing is that i have to take the whole marker apart to get the valve out, not just the quick strip screw because the on/off pin sticks into the body. it's not really a problem but gets annoying when i just want to take the valve, bolt, ect out. i was wondering if anyone else has this problem, and if/how i can fix it(or do i just have to live with it)?

[treyco]

Spray painter: I too thought that it was a tight squeeze getting the carrier in and out, but I used a dental pick and was able to do it without damaging the black o-ring. Also, have you tried pulling the trigger a few times after taking your tank off. I found that this pushes the pin back in and the assembly will slide out fine.

[Spray Painter]

it took me FOREVER to find some dental picks out in my garage but i finally got the carrier out(almost bent the pick)
thanks treyco for the help

noa350 you need to get a small file and make a little room for the bolt on the inside of your body.(at least thats how it's done on regular bodies that dont have room for the bolt, I havent seen the inside of a micromag body but I'd assume you'd do the same thing)

Spray Painter when the valve wont come out, you need to pull the trigger to knock the on/off pin back in the valve, then the valve will pop right out. As for taking out the carrier, use your field strip screw, it's the easiest way.

[Spray Painter]

Havoc- when the on/off pin is sticking out the trigger rod is in the frame so when i pull the trigger it isn't doing anything

[Havoc_online]

then your trigger rod length has been messed with and is off.

[Spray Painter]

it shoots fine when it's aired up, that only happens when there no air. i've never messed anything in it.

I got my Emag back out today to start playing again but the Level 10 was acting up. When I first installed it it worked perfect but it is a beta version so it has been awhile. The gun has set for probably 6 months without any use. Today it would not fire I could hear the solenoid click but nothing would happen. If I put my finger in the breach and pushed on the front of the bolt it would burp the next trigger pull and the bolt would move about half way the next shot would be normal, the next burp, then normal. Sometimes it would burp 2 or 3 times then fire. This occured during slow seady firing of about 1-2 bps. During quick firing after the first burp it would continue firing normally. If there was any pause in the shootng the bolt would have to be pushed again to get it to start back shooting. This occured with both of the longer springs; the shortest had no problems. The setup was the 1.5 carrier not sure on shims. I put the 2 carrier in but it leaked down the barrel. The push on the bolt did not have to be strong just a light depression. Any ideas?

bratch- Simple question, but I need to know before I try to troubleshoot it further... did you try turning up the velocity when it wouldn't fire with the longer springs?

[bratch]

Yes... I am unsure of the original velocity and I did not remember the velocity trick until I was almost out of air (damn leaky tank). I turned it quite abit to increase the velocity but to no avail. Perhaps due to lack of pressure... not sure however with full pressure it was not working I just didn't try adjusting the velocity when I had pressure
