thanks in advance

It is called a 'patched' screw. It is a anti-vibration material. I believe loctite may sell it. Be sure to buy the "easily-removable" version.

This happens the first few shots after being aired up. I know of 3 09's that do this. Even after changing rammer orings.

Thanks

The solenoids may need to be cleaned internally.
You can also try upping the FSDO.

The switch should be stable and they are still available for sale.

I've replaced all bolt and can O-rings. I was iffy on the outside can O-ring size, because what the manual said was different from size of the O-rings that were on my can (but I had purchased used), but I went with the manual and they seem kind of big. I doubt it's an issue because they're just static O-rings, but thought I'd mention it.

2) When I degass it doesn't shoot a full power paintball, but it'll knock the paintball in the breech out into my barrel cover. Not enough power to break the ball, but it definitely shoots one in there. Should I check my PCV?

The PCV will empty the air chamber but some air may still be in the solenoid.

The full auto issue could be the main can orings which should be #20. Could also be the main bolt oring which is #14x2.

e-portal says can be used with sl91, sl94, sls. which board is in hybrid just says sl on it?

2.) is a plank kit needed with the ego 9 hybrid? since they share the same solenoids can the plank kit be used, or is needed on an ego 10?

I actually have never taken the later 09s apart. I believe it is simply an EGO9 with a 10 frame. I would recommend contacting nick.t@planeteclipse.com

I dont have a SLS board on me to verify but I believe 12.5 is correct.

Also my velocity screw is nearly almost all the way out with the Ninja SLP reg and im wondering if the ego9 is able to shoot off the SLP reg since the geo2 is able to? Or should I get a HP reg?

Just wondering,
Thanks

The turrets are fine. They do the same job.

I have never used an SLP on an EGO9 but Ninja says it works fine. If your velocity is stable with no drop off you should be fine.

Make sure there is no paint. Gas up the marker with the barrel off. Pull the bolt pin up and slide the bolt forward. Does it get louder? If so, it is one of the following 4 issues:

1) Replace the Exhaust valve (poppit).
2) Replace the Exhaust valve guide orings.
3) Replace the Exhaust guide (valve body).
4) The valve spring is bent or not sitting in the valve chamber properly.

If it gets louder with the bolt in the rear position, you need to replace the front #9 rammer oring.

where can i find orings for it?

06 solenoid parts are hard to come by. What oring is bad? If it was one inside the solenoid it should leak. Here is a list of issues to go thru...
- New Energy, Duracell or Energizer battery. The gun needs a good amount of power to run the marker properly. A lessor brand of battery may read fully charged but doesn't have the upkeep to sustain the power needed to run the gun. This is the #1 cause of all issues in an EGO.
- Change #11 rammer oring. Even if it looks good. It will be the largest black oring towards the rear of the rammer.
- Change the #11 oring on the rammer cap.
- Set your dwell to factory (10.0). Be sure the gun is not set on training mode.
- ASA On/Off knob turned in to far? When you add your air system to the gun you want to turn the knob until you hear the initial gas transfer. Do not turn it more then one complete turn more or you will actually restrict the airflow coming out of your air system.
- Check the LPR. Make sure it is assembled and lubed properly. There are 5 pieces within the LPR cap. Adjuster screw, adjuster piston (small silver cup-like part), silver spring, followed by the piston and gold spring (See page 46/47 of the manual). Put the adjuster screw flush to one turn out, see if this affects the velocity at all.
- Check the HPR. Make sure it is assembled, lubed. Make sure there are 16 shim springs properly assembled.
- While you have the HPR apart, check the HPR Piston reg seat. Make sure it is there and not cracked (See page 44/45 of the manual). Perfect pressure would be 325 psi. It can be achieved by properly assembling it then spinning the adjuster screw all the way out and then 3.5 turns in. This will give you the approximate pressure.
- Check the rear QEV. Make sure it is not loose or cracked. Loctite if loose. Replace if cracked.
- Check the airline from the rear QEV to the manifold. Take the hose off the QEV and take the solenoid off the manifold. Blow thru the hose. It should flow freely.
- Check the Solenoid. Make sure there is no physical damage. When a solenoid is coming to the end of its life it will often loose velocity and become very inconsistent. If it isn't leaking, 99% of the time you can change just the rear section, If you can locate one...
- Brass valve guide. If you look at the front of teh rammer housing there is a brass guide that is loctited in place. if it starts to unthread it will limit the airflow causing low velocity.

I personally like the standard open insert.

Hi

Do you mean to up the dwell from 10.5 to 11 or 11.5 ?

and the LPR from 2 turn´s to 2 1/2 turn´s ( from flush)

[Pr1m0]

hey found a ego5 recently and i just got a chance to air it up. Pretty large leak coming from above the lpr? not the barrel but as if the lpr isnt sealing? I stripped it down and lubed the orings inside. Still there. Any idea?

[Bill]

Replace the #16 oring on the LPR housing. The #14 and the 2-#4 orings between the FRM and body.

[Pr1m0]

thanks bill. will try that now.fixed that. changing other orings

[Pr1m0]

k bill that helped me get rid of the giant lpr leak! thank you!

now the gun is shooting pretty low. i have a cp reg on it and its showing 300 psi on the reg. also a i have a tiny leak coming form the asa? and idea what that could be?

[two40tom]

Hi Bill, I have an 08 ego and recently disassembled for cleaning and now when i put it back together it started having a small leak out of one of the two small clear hoses in between the noid and the QEV, so I replaced it. After i reassembled the gun and test fired it had trouble. It would take a lot of trigger pulls to get it to fire once and while pulling the trigger i could hear a faint air sound near the noid. How ever it was not a constant leak, so i took it back apart rechecked my work and this time tried to shoot before assembling the body to the grip frame. It shot fine. I then proceeded to reassembled and test fired before putting the screws in holding the frame to body and same problem as before. Took frame and body apart and shot and worked fine and so on... what could be my problem? Ive checked wires to make sure nothing could possibly shorting out and I am stumped.. help me please

Yes I have the on 1,7 but it seemed to kick more of a way I didnt like.

Thanks Bill

Try both 11 and 11.5. See which you like better.

If the screw is in 2 turns in, leave it be.

You should have 325-340 psi to shoot 290

There is a small oring in the ASA. Take the asa knob out then use a large flat head screw driver to access it.

Are you pinching the main air line to the solenoid?

no i made sure of that as well
