you may wanna try tech for this request...

BTW - i'm not a lx guru at all but try the carrier that leaks, if you can shoot a tank full of air through the gun to wear in the oring then go down on carrier it may work.

Wouldn't recock? Usually a smaller carrier causes bolt stick. If it wasn't recocking I'd try a stiffer spring. Have you tried turning the velocity up? I'd use the middle spring, 2 shims, the largest carrier that doesn't leak, turn the velocity up, put some oil down the powertube and see how that does.

well maybe recock is a poor description.the smaller carrier that dosent leak gave no air to the trigger using the same velocity as the larger carrier.will increasing the velocity to operate the valve exceed legal fps?im using the middle spring(red)and 2 shims.thnx for the help guys giving me lots to think about

If it won't recock, then you are experiencing bolt stick. Go back to the carrier you were using before.

If you are using shims, take them out.

Put a nice film of oil around the carrier and o-rings when you put them back in the gun.
