BlackVCG's ULT Thread

[Plazmic]

ok can someone post a pic of a assembled ULT since i'm getting one soon and i want to see what it looks like so i can compare it when i drop mine in

Well, actually, from the outside it looks just like the standard on/off after it's installed.

[Backyard Bandit]

I'm unsure which type of valve mine is. It says ReTro Valve on it, but the guy I boutght it from said it had seen less than 15 speedball games, and looks dam near new. Is there any way I can tell if it is compadible with the ULT or not? I just took a picture of it if that helps.

Edit: that's not rust, I just havn't cleaned it yet after it's last game so there's still some debry left in it from trees/paint (speedball and woodsball).

but i see it has a big thing at one end of the ON/off pin just wondering witch way it sits. also how would i know theres too many Shims?(note: I'm installing it on my classic valve)

[BlackVCG]

If the back half of the valve is brown/gray and says ReTro Valve and the front half is stainless steel, (silver) then it's an official ReTro Valve with the single o-ring on/off.

Well, if you're putting it in a Classic valve, you'll probably not have too many shims in there. It takes a butt-load of shims to get it to work in a Classic Valve.

[AGDlover]

i wanna know anyway how many is too many because i plan on starting with the lvl10 shims and working my way up

[AGDlover]

ok i got my lvl10 today and was wondering. does the small black o-ring have to go on??? or doesn't it matter???

[AGDlover]

hey guys the ULT does work in a Classic so AGDJon take that thing where it says "ULT will not work in a Classic" out

[Cool fool!]

how do you get the pin out of the on/off top part

[Plazmic]

how do you get the pin out of the on/off top part

Have you unscrewed the on/off?

[BlackVCG]

The on/off top pin is loctited into the big round bottom support piece. You can change out the small black o-ring without ungluing the on/off top pin. To do this, take a dental pick of some sort and pry at the side of the black o-ring until it comes out of the hole. Then take your finger nails and pull up on the o-ring and it will stretch around the on/off pin and then come off.

You can then take the replacement black o-ring that came with your ULT kit and push it onto the pin head and then once it gets onto the skinny part of the on/off pin push down on the top of the on/off pin to seat the o-ring into its pocket.

If you are getting leaks down the barrel from the ULT, try replacing the black o-ring and if that doesn't work, replace the white urethane o-ring around the on/off bottom piece.

i have 5 shims and its still kinda slow and keeps short strokeing is there anyway i can add shimms to my LVL 10 or X valve to speed it up

Nothing is Happening

I recently bought the ULT and i got everything ready to go with one shim in, gassed it up, and the trigger didnt reset(didnt let me shoot it) so i tried it with 2 shims, same thing. Tried 3, got one shot of and it didnt reset. Tried 4 shims and nothing happend. So i finally tried 5 shims...still nothing. I am using a classic valve but i thought the only problems with it would be shootdown, not having it not work at all. Please help. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

I have an old valve on my RT Pro (the half alum and half stainless) and just sent it to Brad in Texas to get it drilled. Didn't I hear something about keeping a certain part from my old on/off because the new parts would not fit right??



UPDATE!!!!!
Okay, my retro valve was drilled, I added one shim on top of the three already installed and it was shooting great until my tank hit around 1000 psi, when the gun would not recock, and the bolt stayed mid-point, releasing a lot of air. What could this mean???
