Leak

[68magOwner]

Ok, i no this has been done many times before, but i donno wat to search for, my mag leaks down the barrel and DOES stop when the trigger its pulled and helled back, i know ive read what that means a million times, but it never applied to me, so i didnt pay attention (lesson learned0 can someone help me? is it just the carrier? i think thats wat i read, but im not sure

well you probably have LX so if it is just leaking out the barrel it is your carrieer so just go down a half carier and see if the leak stops or slows down

it could also be your shims if you have to many in there. just change your carieer first and see what happens.

hmmm, i have no shims, and i belive i have in the smallest carrier, but im not sure what stripes/dots combo is the smallest? is there a chart sizing them all? i dont have 1

ok, well i just took my mag apart, and to my suprise, there was 1 shim in my PT, so i took it out, gassed up, no sighn of a leak, so im relived, and i go to shoot a few rounds, and after about ~25 shots the thing like explodes (no actual boom) and starts not leaking, but more like spraying gas down the barrel, and once again it stopped when the trigger was pulled. So wats wrong?

The carrier with nothing on it is the smallest. Consider the dots to mean .5 and the lines to mean 1. The chart is then:

nothing
one dot
one line
one dot and one line
two lines...

ok, currently my level 10 had the smallest carrier, no shims, and the shortest spring, i went into the back yard and started shootin, everythin was good, but after bout 5 shots, the thing goes F/A unloading about 20 rounds a second, it was sweeet, but wolnt be allowed at the feild so, right now im gonna try a new spring, but please give suggestions.

ok, all 3 springs make for mad barrel leak, what do i do?

Right from the LX tuning thread: http://www.automags.org/forums/showt...threadid=39810

Test the o-ring carrier
Now slide on your new Superbolt II with your original main spring (not one of the new ones) then reassemble the valve into the marker. Gas the marker up as see if it leaks. If it does leak use your finger or a squeegee to push the front face of the bolt around while its leaking. If the leak changes tone then it’s most likely the wrong o-ring carrier (4) and you have to go to the next one tighter. If it doesn’t leak you have the right carrier and can proceed to the next step.

I use a 0.5 carrier (1 dot) and no shims with the smallest spring. What is your input pressure?

[68magOwner]

i have the same setup as you, but i dunno my imput pressure, im running it on co2

[68magOwner]

ok, i fixed it, i was missing an oring :o musta lost it when...i donno when, but watever, it works now
