Have you tried putting int he largest carrier that dosent leak? and then working your way up with the shimms its generally better to use as little shims as possible. Also dont lube the power tube oring because it will give a false sence of friction. Its normal for the lvl 10 to start changing because when its still new your breaking in that oring and as you use it more you need to go down in carrier size. Eventually you hit a point wher eit dosent change anymore tho. Also what is your input pressure set at?

If you are having a problem with leaking, then remove all the shims. Retune the level 10 using the largest carrier that doesn't leak. I'd go with the middle spring during the setup procedure. You may get to use the longest spring, but may experience chuffing if the carrier setup isn't perfect.

I had some problems with my mag "refusing to fire". In fact it would do it consistently every other shot with the long spring. After I had worn in my carrier o-ring I started trimming the long spring, which was nearly useless anyway since it caused so much chuffing. I'm actually kinda surprised so many people manage to get their lvl10's working good without trimming their springs. Hope that helps.

using the longest spring is often times overkill the red one (medium) usually works just fine witht he proper carrier and shim tuning.

Never mind, It turns out my mag was double feeding and choping paint because the interals of my ball detent fell out and paint balls were just rolling into my barrel, the Level 10 bolt was doing its job of not letting me fire because there were balls being pinched, but I forced it to because I was in a speedball match, so it started chopping. Thanks everyone for your imput.
