SOLENOID FLOW
RESTRICTORS
The following section covers direct adjustment of the
Solenoid Valve which should only be used by users with
a sound knowledge of the Ego11 firing cycle.
Built into the right side of the Solenoid Valve are two
Solenoid Flow Restrictors SFR(s) which control the
exhaust flow from the Rammer bore on the backward
(Restrictor ‘A’) and forward stroke (Restrictor ‘B’)
(SEE
FIGURE 12A)
. By controlling the exhaust flow from
the Rammer bore, the speed of the Rammer during
its forward and backward strokes can be sped up or
slowed down. The SFRs can be adjusted using a small
flat headed screw driver.
Each restrictor has a range of adjustability from 1(-) to
10 (+). Setting an SFR at 1 will provide the minimum
level of exhaust flow from that restrictor. Setting an SFR
at 10 will provide the maximum level of exhaust flow.
By setting these restrictors at different levels of flow the
user can control how the gun performs and feels when
firing the marker.
Setting the restrictors to a higher level of flow will
allow for higher cycles per second (dependent on the
ROF Cap, see page 37). However these higher settings
will also reduce the smoothness of the firing cycle
compared to setting the restrictors at a lower level of
fl ow.

Setting the restrictors to a lower level of flow will
increase the smoothness of the firing cycle, however
reducing the flow also lowers the cycling rate of the
Ego11.

Restrictor B controls the forward stroke of the
Rammer. As such it has the ability to directly control
the velocity of the paintball. Setting restrictor B
BELOW levels 6-7 on the scale will start to reduce the
velocity below the optimal setting. This however may
be ideal for indoor/re-ball use.
SOLENOID FLOW RESTRICTOR PRESETS
Below are a list of recommended settings and their
effects on the Ego11. The settings are expressed in the
follow format 1/6 where the first number is the flow
level of Restrictor A and the second is the flow level of
Restrictor B.
1
> EGO11 FACTORY SETTING - 5/7 - this setting will
provide a smooth shooting marker with a reasonable
rate of fire, ideal for most ramping presets (eg PSP10,
PSP12 etc).
> HIGH RATE OF FIRE - 10/10 - this setting will
provide optimal cycling speeds but will have slightly
more kick than the factory setting. Ideal for unlimited
rate of fire modes
> SMOOTH SHOT - 1/7- this setting will provide a very
smooth shot and a low cycling speed. Ideal for low rate
of fire modes.

These results may differ due to the LPR output pressure and Dwell
settings on the Ego11.
