I just bought a ReTro Valve Micromag from a friend of mine. After getting it home here I pulled it apart, lubed everything, cleaned it, and put it all back together. I also retuned the level 10. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but even with the level 10 in there shouldn't the trigger be pushing back out against my fingers? I seem to remember it doing that before he put the level 10 in. Right now I pull the trigger, it fires fine, but there is a slight delay before it kind of "nudges" my fingers a little bit, it almost feels like a classic valve. Nothing like the other RT valves I've fired.
I'm using a fixed output 850 psi tank, which has been enough to get me some good reactivity on other mags I've used. I'm not trying to "sweetspot" or anything like that, I'd just like some reactivity so I don't shortstroke as much. I know all about shortening the on/off pin but I'd rather not, especially since this gun seemed to work fine in the past. It's almost as though something is getting stuck and keeping it from recharging quickly. It will also chuff pretty easily if I don't pull completely, and I mean pull the trigger back to the frame. Any ideas would be great, it technically "works" as is but it's nothing like it should be. The ideas I've had so far are...
Level 10 is affecting it somehow, not sure how. Maybe a new reg piston so I can turn the adjuster in further without it hissing? Not sure how that would affect the reactivity though. The carrier in there right now barely grabs the bolt, any smaller and it hisses like a mother, so I believe that's not the problem. Using the medium spring.
On/off pin. Never was a problem in the past, but maybe it's worn?
O-rings. The gun hasn't been used in a long time, is it possible an o-ring is sticking and keeping it from recharging quickly?
