Automag 68 shooting Very BAD! please help

[Sirbob]

I have an Automag 68 Classic with a Boo-Yaah frame. I tried to install level 10 in it, and after working on that for way too long I came to the conclusion that it was not going to work for me. I then put the original parts back into the gun. Now I when I apply air to the gun the gun will fire randomly, and when I pull the trigger (in semi auto mode) the gun will keep firing (full auto, and I can't stop it). When it starts firing like that some times it will fire only 3 or four times, other times it just will not stop firing.

I have checked and I do not believe that the frame is the problem, the trigger is not sticking, and the solenoid is not causing the gun to fire, it is just sitting still. (Unless I pull the trigger).

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

P.S. I put the level 10 kit in another automag 68 that I have (with a stock grip), and it went in with no troubles at all.

First, try putting a stock frame back on it. If it works, then you know where the problem is.

That was my plan to night, although when I was looking at it last night, it did not look like the solenoid was hitting the trigger lever, the gun was just firing for no reason.

I would probably say it's the frame causing the problems. Boo Yah is no longer in business, so that should say something about their product.

Check your sear. It's designed to wear faster than your bolt. It sounds like your BooYah wore it down and now the sear can't catch the bolt.

Or the bolt might be worn down.....

Well after playing with it, I know now that it is not the frame. It must be the way I put the power tube back to gether after trying to install the level 10. I have now taken it apart and put it back to gether no less that 20 times now. Now it does not leak, and it does not rapid fire, but the bolt is sticking forward. So that is the new problem.. When I pull the trigger, the bolt sticks forward and the gun leaks out the front.

Thanks every one that has been helping. I realy love this gun, and it did not need the level 10, as it did not break paint that often. Not I am very upset that I have spent all the time working on it and it does not work as well as it did before I started.

Ok, I managed to fix it. After the bolt was sticking forward I checked the manual (RTFM), and was able to follow the flow charts to a fix. Also, I needed to adjust the volosity.

It is all good now!

Thanks everyone!

Also, Because Boo-Yaah is no longer in business, I am looking for parts to keep mine going. If anyone has one that they want to sell (working or not) e-mail me and I would be interested in buying it.
