    In my opinon its a dry sticking reg assembly most likely. You have to get into the back to fix that.

        Do you have any Dow 33 grease? Robagd and Tunaman told me a trick here that does help if you do. If not just use marker oil. Its not critical. But they mix a little dow 33 with marker oil and smear that on the outside. Makes it stick ont here better and only have to do it once is all. If not oil will work fine.

              Thats cool. Now let me ask you this... are you also installing a ULT? Like capo?

                  First question: Did you remove ALL the orings from the on off hole before you tried it? The little and bigger ones stuck up in the top of the on off hole. They need to come out too.

                  Second question: Do you still have the regular on off assembly and its orings to put back in first? We could get it shooting with that first and then move on to the ULT because we are eliminating and tuning one step at a time that way. It probably needs a little oil in there too.

                  Third question: did you double check the carrier fit on the level 10 and oil it a tiny bit?

                    I did remove all o-rings for ult. I will check carrier and original on/off real quick. Give me a minute or two.

                      You are going to shoot now....I can feel it....

                      Air? you got air? Need it!!!!

                      Don't forget to return those two top orings and oil the pin and slide it back and forth a little if your going to put the normal on off back in for a bit.

                          Its most likely not going to on this one. Mainly because its tight and the level 10 is not set yet and all. Its gonna need a blast and then some volume adjustment. Drop me a pm tomorrow if its not working when you get air. We get it going. I think its gonna fire up now. get it going with that normal on off and set good and then that ULT will be a sinch of a drop in from there.
