[FreakBaller12]

[Derman2k]

Air in your tank? Or velocity?

Try a lighter bolt spring, and oil up that teflon O-ring in the carrier. Oil it up VERY well!

Sounds like bolt stick.

lighter as in.....i'm new to my gun and xvalve

[FreakBaller12]

i oiled it like a mofo and it still dont work, the lil silver thing behind the trigger that pushes back the trigger in mech mode doesn't come out whrn i put the n2 in

Sounds like your best bet. I've never read of anyone getting level x to work w/ the .5 carrier

Im on the .5 carrer with 1 shim on my Retro

I does sound like bolt stick though, try going up in carrer sizes untill it leaks and then go down 1 size. This should get you headed in the right direction.

As in the X-valve comes with the LVL 10 of course. LVL10 has 3 springs. The red one is your stiffest. Silver is middle. And brass is stock spring.
I belive that's how it goes, I'll have to double check.

But any ways, put in your brass looking spring. Because the combination of how tight the O-ring is, along with the spring strenght pushing back on the bolt. That can make it stick.

Of course, you might also want to increase your pressure. Turn the velocity up first, see what happens. Pressure might just be too low.

Which spring are you using?
How many shims are you using?
Which carrier were you using before you made the switch to the .5?

First, remove all shims.
Then put in the shortest spring.
Go with the largest carrier that doesn't leak.
Once you find the proper carrier, you can go to a longer spring and tune the gun to be softer. I wouldn't worry about adding shims.
