Nothing to fix, as Ed says in the video, light weight composite part is necessary for the index to work, that's why Ed and Igor trolls a user that made one (or postulated) that these parts should be made of steel

They are trolling someone trying to fix a broken part on one of their guns. Pretty lame troll

That seems like overkill. You could probably step up to a tougher plastic or composite material -- maybe even some kind of mildly fibreglass-reinforced plastic would be the next step if indeed the part is too weak. Given that we haven't heard of many of these problems, likely there isn't a significant issue here.

Looks like the date on that was back in 2020. I also don’t think they slammed anyone. They were trying to get the message out that the part needs to be lightweight. To not buy an ‘upgraded’ steel part. They also mentioned they were working on their own upgrade.
That part is driven by the pilot exhaust. The higher the reg pressure is set, the more force driving it. (If I understand correctly)

I never heard of the plunger being an issue, mine did fail after thousands of rounds, replaces it with the leshiy drive train kit and all is well now. Hopefully it lasts forever.

I've fired thousands of rounds out of my Leshiy 2, and have not encountered this problem. Perhaps the internal update happened before my purchase.

350mm LW barrel in .22, firing JSB Heavys 18.13grn. New forward plug & EAR, dog bone & collar removed. Full sized puck, reg at 110 & 2 x 1.2 jets. With this set up my current FPS is around 770.
Does anyone have any idea as to the optimum settings (power jets & regulator) to shoot these pellets at around 900-910fps. Obviously I know I need to run the reg higher to achieve the speed, but is there a more optimal jet set up that 2 x 1.2???
I find the jets very confusing

I think of the jets having more to do with the barrel length and projectile weight, with the regulator setting being (not quite) independent. I'd maybe try moving your regulator up to 130 bar, something like that, as a starting point. You likely don't need to change the jets unless you're going to a longer barrel or considerably heavier projectile.

Thanks for taking the time to reply
I was just hoping I could maybe run slightly smaller jets so I'd not have to wind the reg up as high. So jet size is barrel & calibre weight related? Scanning through old posts on here I see people running 0.3 & 0.7 jet in their 350mm .22's. But they seem to be using the old regulators, not the EAR.

You can certainly do that, but I suspect you'll mostly just be blowing excess air out the barrel. I think if you're going to fire significantly heavier pellets or slugs, it starts to make more sense to tighten-up the jets.

My ditto, old version (without the new forward plug), reg. and jets as came from factory average 919 fps with the JSB Heavies
Ed did a L2 5.5/350 test - new forward plug with dog bone & collar installed, no mention of jets so must be factory at 2 x 1.2
L2 5.5/350, dependency speed/pressure

The type of regulator do not matter when you have the large plenum as a buffer, Ed (in the link I just posted) seems to get much lower fps with the new forward plug than I get with the old version

Made a short shot string over the crony to find the reg setting reading the wike manometer every shot (my Edgun digital agrees with the wike)
So my reg setting is close to 120 Bar
Bar - m/sec.
136 - 281.5
130 - 280.5
125 - 280.7
122 - 281.9 *
118 - 179.5 *
115 - 277.0
112 - 274.4
109 - 272.4
105 - 268.7
100 - 264.7
From the video, Ed gets 238m/sec @120 Bar with the heavies, I get 280m/sec (350mm Alfa barrel)
BTW, the vertical stringing from 35yards for all shots was only 21.5mm/0.85" = inside the kill zone of a craw down to 100Bar

Would be nice if Ed could find the time to explain a bit about the function of the new forward plug - if it makes any difference in the speed, if another size of jets is required to reach same pellet speed as with the old version

I thought the "new forward plug" was only new for the small-calibre guns. It helps to keep the fps low, for places like the UK where people are shooting without a firearms license. i.e. if you want to shoot high fps or larger calibres, you can remove those new components.

With the new forward plug inserts in place (dog bone & collar as there referred to) you have to crank the reg up to around 200 bar to shoot the JSB Heavys 18.13grn at 900fps. As it shows on on Eds chart, I'm assuming this is also using the 2 x 1.2 jets as well??
But, if like me you remove the inserts you can achieve higher fps with a much lower reg setting, the same as with the original forward plug, all just seems a but redundant to me

The reason for the dog and bone on the lower calibers was to lower extreme spread, and make the shots more consistent. It’s also more beneficial to those shooting lower power settings. If shooting heavier pellets at speeds above 880, there’s no real need for the restrictive parts.
The idea is similar to Matt Dubbers explanation. Higher reg pressure and shorter valve dwell causes less air loss and more consistent shot to shot. This is how he tunes his impact to get the accuracy he gets. This could be done by swapping the jets for larger ones on the leshiy, but Ed seemed to find that the song bone and collar which basically restrict the port and valve worked better, but by restricting the port, the larger calibers couldn’t get the speed needed.

Excellent explanation, do you have the Leshiy 2 EAR, in .22, 350mm configuration?
If so what jets, puck & regs settings are you running? Curious

I do. I have stock 1.2 jets large puck, and reg set at 130bar. Dog and bone removed I’m shooting hades at 900fps and crossman hollow points at 930fps.
