Mitsukai · 07-10-2008, 03:18 PM

It leaks air down the barrel. Only slightly it stops when i pull the trigger but i wont fire.

Parts on the gun is..

level 10.

I havent a clue whats done with the gun earlier.
I hope for a fast answer.

Go to automags.org

On the opening page there is a guide for the LX, and then if you proceed to the forums you can search and find a guide for the ULT.

You will need to know the stuff anyway. Happy hunting. Been a satisfied mag owner for many years.

I guess its no easy way out then.
Yeah i guess automag.org is the best way to go.
thanks anyway!

There isn't much that can go wrong with an automag that can't be fixed by getting a parts kit and replacing the seals (o-rings). You might try running some oil thru it to see if the leaking stops, but odds are you need new orings.

Agreed on the LX page at Ao but if it's not firing there are two things that you can try that are easy fixes: 1) make sure the front frame screw isn't over tightened and 2) try turning the velocity up, the valve may have been rebuilt or repaired and the velocity nut may not be properly adjusted. These will not stop the leak in the barell but they may correct the lack of firing.

Leak fixed, i put the valve assembly on a old automag 68, ( i guess something with the trigger sear line up is off on my Ul body) But i still dosent fire, My guess is that something with the ULT is the problem, i know that the guy i bought it from never got the ULT working
Right now its the triggr is very stiff to pull.

The trigger pin may be bent.

Xvalve will still work with a classic on/off if you have one. That will help a lot with troubleshooting the LX first, and then start looking into the ULT.

Lubed the Ult assembly and now it shoot, but still a bit problem. It leaks, then "cocks" and ready to shoot, And after that shot i leaks again, and after a while lets say 2-3sec it works again. Can it got something to do with Air/Regulator on my bottle (uses a cheap Hp) I guess it works better with my Centerflag. I guess a new frame and trigger will do a bit in the strange feeling in the trigger, current setup is a bit ghetto.

And i almost forgot, sorry if my eng or grammar is off, Im a swede..

You may try a stronger bolt spring.
That sometimes helps bolt stick.
Sounds like it may be a combination of things.
Bolt stick, ULT needs some fine tuning, level 10 needs some fine tuning.

Any idea what your input psi to the gun is? The X-valve guide recommends between 800 and 1000.
