    Inconsistent firing problem

    I played yesterday and most of the day my gun fired fine. But towards the end of the day I was having problems. First I'll tell you that its not my hyperframe. The solenoid works as it should and the frame is very responsive. My problem is that every other shot was a "chuff". Its lubed, I didn't mess with anything before it started farting out on me. And I can hear a slight leak from the bolt/valve (I can hear it trough the feedneck). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    edit: sorry, btw its an x valve with ult.

    Remove all your Lvl 10 shims and tune your Lvl 10. Something I caught when playing Saturday is that suddenly, it is summer. Temperature/humidity changes do affect the Lvl 10 and you might need to change carriers.

    This was my other post:
    This is the forum for trouble shooting your Airgun Designs products, including the Automag, RT, E-Mag, and WarpFeed. Also a great place to ask technical questions about non AGD products. An Airsmith's homeroom!


    Tuning the Lvl 10:

    Tunaman taught me a neat trick that works when trying to help someone check if they have the right carrier.

    Oil your o-ring, put it into the 2.0 carrier (2 lines, no dots), slide it onto the bolt stem and attempt to dangle the bolt. (You are holding the carrier while trying this.) If the bolt slips off the carrier from its own weight, go to a smaller carrier. Use the largest carrier that will not allow the bolt to slip off using this test. Do not add any shims yet. Oil everything, assemble, and break in the o-ring by shooting out a tank of air. After doing this, you may need to change carriers and use the next smallest. Now, start adding shims one at a time until it leaks down the barrel. Take the shim out. You are now ready to go.
