How Often Do You Adjust Your LvL10

[dnm5d]

You can try to superpolish your level 10. It also seems that lubing the oring in the carrier every once in awhile prevents bolt stick.

I used to have have the problems mentioned above after a case or two of play...bolt sticking, then changing to a looser carrier which in turn causes a leak. Then I'd have to play with the settings again.

I just got around to polishing my bolt piston. I can't test it yet since I can't fill my nitro tank, but I will tell you how I did it.

Ok, all you have to do it get a Bic pen (ya know, the white ones) or an other similar tube. Take it all apart and then cut about an inch and a half section off. Put about a half an inch of the section in a drill and tighten the chuck.

Cut a 1" square out of t-shirt material and stuff it in the tube. This piece will add friction to the polishing patch. Then take another 1" square of t-shirt, center it over the hole in the pen section, and push the patch down the pen with the bolt piston.

You should be able to turn the bolt without the cloth turning in the pen. If the patch will not go into the pen, make the patch a little smaller and vise-versa.

Now you put a little bit of gun-metal/jewlery polish (what I used, not as abrasive) or Brasso. Put the bolt in the pen tube and spin the drill up, moving the bolt up and down.

If you have anymore questions, PM me, I'll be glad to help.

You should oil your gun every time you play. A couple drops in the ASA or air line will do fine. ESPECIALLY with level 10.

Plus- After the first 500-600 shots, the carrier will leak a little. After changing down a carrier- I haven't had to look at it.

I've put several cases of paint through mine and I haven't had to adjust it at all.

I had to adjust the L10 on both my mags once after the first times I played with them. No problem since. Shot about 1500 balls with my emag on Sat with no problems.

hmm...

i have one of the first protos, and i adjusted mine foir the first time a few nights back. just a simple retune bacause i have been playing at this indoor field and keep my fps to about 250 now, instead of 275-280. I have the mid spring and 2.5 carrier

Once I got my gun firing with LX, I just left it alone and it's been fine since

I installed my Beta LX on 7/13/02, used longest spring and 1.5 carrier. After 200 rds.. it started to leak down the barrel, I swapped the oring (WHICH IS IMPORTANT!) to the 1.0 carrier.. .ran fine for another 200 rds or so.. started to leak a tiny bit, so I dropped to the .5 carrier, since then.. never had a problem. Just remember to lube the gun every day before you play and it shouldn't give you any problems.

Dry o-rings don't seal very well, and since these are teflon, they will loosen to a point but once they've been properly broken in they shouldn't loosen anymore. I have since then run about 15 cases through it.. never once had a problem.

Just recently purchased a retro valve, I swapped the LX kit over to it.. same setup .5 carrier, longest spring, 3shims.. works like a charm! Good luck!

Okay 15 cases and no prob... Im mad now. I don't fricken understand because I've done everything here that has been mentioned to maintain lvl10 and it still gives me this crap.

I have to agree with you. My Emag crapped out on me this week end and forced me to use my back up. It seems I'm always messing with the LX. I'll fire a few hundred shots with the set up that works, and then I get leaks. I switch to a smaller carrier, and I get bolt stick.
In a tourney situation, the last thing I have time for is removing my valve parts, and switching carriers.
