    Quick Question-Please Help

    I was playing with my LVL 10 E-mag today when it started to leak. When I put a little pressure on the trigger the leak stopped, when I let the trigger go the leak persisted. I've searched the subject but there were a lot of things to go through, can somebody give me the lamens advice as to how to fix my marker.

    Thanks

      My input pressure is at 800 psi. I dont know the exact setup of the Lvl 10 because I didn't set it up, I bought it with the kit installed. Before I go tackling it I just wanted to get some sort of idea of how to fix the problem.

        how long have you been using the kit? you may have simply broken in the carrier o'ring, you need to go down one size carrier(using the same o'ring) to get rid of the leak.

        Also, how many shims you have installed will make the bolt sensitive to where and when it leaks, I would'nt think you'd need more than 2(only worry about your shim number if it's been doing this since the kit was first installed).

          If the bolt doesn't leak when sitting, and only leaks when you start to pull the trigger, then it usually means there is one too many shims in the power tube. Remove one of the shims and you should be fine.

          Also as Havoc_online mentioned, you may want to decrease the size of your carrier by one size if the gun has fired a significant number of rounds. The o-ring may be broken in. It will then work better with a tighter carrier.
          Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.
