    wont fire

    Sorry but my eyes are starting to hurt looking over all these threads. I just need help with one problem. I cant seem to get my gun to fire. I stopped the air leaks and now it just wont shoot. Any answers It is a Retro Valve it that helps and I dont have a ult but did install a lvl 10.

    Try increasing your velocity. Make sure that your tank is outputting at least 700psi.

      turned velocity all the way up but still nothing. I can feel pressure on the trigger put it feels like maybe the sear isnt catching. constant pressure just no pop. I have a high pressure tank attached.

        X/RT/Emag valves need at least 850-900 output psi to operate (don't use a secondary reg). Make shure you use the looses carrier that dosent leak and re use the same oring or you'll need to retune it when the oring breaks in again. What spring are you using? the longer springs need the velocity turned up higher to work.

            Is the trigger rod long enough? There should be a space only about the thickness of a matchbook cover between the rod and trigger when the gun is gassed up. If there isnt. fix it, then see if the gun shoots.

                Fires now but leaks. Doesnt leak when I have the trigger depressed though.I also replaced the oring on the botom of hte on/off and now the rod comes through the brass fitting.

                  Leaking down the barrel? If so that is a lvl10 issue. Change the carrier oring. Oil it up, try it. If it still leaks go down one carrier size (use the same oring) and try again.

                  Make sure there is a space between the trigger and rod and that at resting (aired up) that they are not touching.
