Most people say they use something around a #2 carrier, 2 shims, and the medium spring.. but I cannot do that.
When I got my marker in the mail, I was very tempted to put my finger in the breach and pull the trigger... but i took a precautionary measure and stuck a pen in there first... it got chopped in half.. thank god it wasnt my finger.
2 tanks of air and countless hours later, I came to the conclusion that my LX was NOT normal.
My setup was thus:
Carrier #1
4 shims (no leaks)
smallest spring....
I My smallest spring can go to anywhere between 200 and 330fps(maybe higher, thats all that I took it).. the other springs require way too much pressure.. the lowest I can get the mid spring is 320 fps.
It was hitting much softer now, It felt like it would stop on any paint... and best of all-- no bolt stick. I thought I had perfected it.
This weekend I went to play, bought a case of evil paint.... and ended up chopping 2 in game out of 900 rounds throughout the day (after the first time the marker was thoroughly cleaned)... Whats that all about? I thought it hit soft? The rest of the day I held my finger speed back.. Anywho, my gun started a small barrel leak.. I thought it was lube, but I lubed it up, and it still leaked.. nothing bad though, I'd just fire a few rounds and the problem was gone.
At the end of the day of play, I decided to open up onto a wall (it was an indoor place) to drain my hopper.. and to show off the speed of my mech.. I wasn't showing off when my marker turned into a blender (I have a 12v w/x board.. need something better).. i sweetspotted and chopped 2-3 consecutive balls.. turned into a mess.. put it in my car, and when I got home I washed the ENTIRE gun b/c paint had fallen through rail, intelliframe etc.. it was messy.
When I put my marker back together it leaked heavily out the barrel.. I took the valve out to inspect, and it seemed like the carrier wasnt connect with the bolt. I thought this very weird.. the carrier did not fit at all anymore, the carrier would fall right off the bolt when i tested it.. I guessed the o-ring was now broken in, and dismissed the problem. I moved down to the #.5 carrier, and it would stick very badly when it it became obstructed.... so I threw my fifth and final shim in there.. and it still sticks pretty bad (but oddly enough it still doesnt leak)
What is going on? Im out of shims, have no carrier that fits, and am stuck with only one usable spring... Did I get a defective LX kit? It just seems that something is NOT RIGHT at all with this bolt... can somone please help?!?!
