    x-valve, I need Help

    Just bought a used x-valve. i tuned the level 10 and love it. Here is the problem. This thing fires so slow. can get 2 quick shots then chuff it doesn't fire sounds like level 10 working. this is during dry fire. as long as i shoot at a moderate rate it is ok. have tried larger carrier caused leak. tried adding and removing shims. no change except to how hard it was on paint.am using 3000 psi HP tank it is full. has a flatline reg. have tried presusres fron 800 psi to 1100 psi and no change. so i got a wild hair and tried my level 10 setup on my classic valve. wow this thing rocks. will fire as fast as i want it. will not chop paint even if i try.
    My MAG

    Power feed hopper left body. not sure about trigger.. it came off of a micro mag single trigrer.. i thing it is a benchmark. i use a smart parts teardrop barrel or a bigshot barrel. 144 ci flatline Hpa tank.12 volt revvy.

    Is this a valve problem or am i just an idiot and not tuning this thing right.

      sound like the oring isnt broken in. had the same problem with my classic for a while. it would fire really slow and wierd. but then when the oring broke in it was smoothe sailin.

              Take out the on/off assembly. Oil the orings in the assembly and in the valve hole.

                  ok tried oiling the on off assy i noticed an extra o-ring that is not in the picture of the valve- exploded view- and took it out. now this thing goes full auto every time I pull the trigger. when i let go it stops. so i tried some shims that brought me back to the original problem.

                  any ideas

                      Put the oring back in. That's the first step. The exploded valve pic you see is the RT valve. It's different than the Xvalve (in one oring).

                          did that and used generious amouts of oil to no avail
                          found the exploded e-mag picture and see what you mean.
                          one thing i think i should check is the pin length. i will be able to do that at work tomorrow. Will post that later

                              just wanted to thank you guys for all the advice.
                              Just got the valve working like it should. I ended up replacing the 2 o-rings at the bottom of the on-off assy and it is now working beautifully.
                              I took a wild guess after loking at the pictures and used the o-rings from the classic valve kit i have
