EGO...Resetting regs?

heres the advice from Jack WoodOriginally posted by Skeet
What I want...is someone who actually know, to post it up here...
Im guessing he knows his ****
(source PBn)The first thing I would recommend, as mentioned above, is to increase the dwell up to 9, and maybe even 9.5-10.0
Some guns that leave the factory have to have the dwell raised over standard 8.0 ms in order to reach higher, more consistent readings, so it is normal and nothing to be conserned about. It is just a fact of life that some solenoids/QEVs require a slightly longer electrical pulse to achieve a consistent rammer pulse.

My added bit. Keep LPR flush unless you have issues with "kick". Start off with inline reg wound all the way out. turn screw 2.5 - 3 turns in - this is ballpark 300psi / 275 FPS ish and a good strating point.

The only way to set it perfectly is to keep upping the dwell over the chrono. Stop upping the dwell when the velocity peaks, and then bring it back down a couple of points.
That should give maximum velocity for minimum dwell. Obviously every time you alter the LPR you should do this again to get it absolutely spot on. Also, if you find you get a massive gain in velocity when you start upping the dwell (ie it sends the velocity 320-330 +) then bring the in-line pressure down, leave the LPR and double check the dwell by dropping itand raising it back to the peak velocity.
Basically it is a very delicate interplay between in-line pressure (because that is what stops the valve from opening AND what fires theball out) LPR pressure, valve dwell and hammer/bolt/pin mass.

From these two posts by jack wood i got these steps
1. Set lpr to the point you want, i hear 2 turns in from flush works like a dream
2. Keep raising the dwell over the chrono until it peaks, but if it begins to go above 320-330 then lower your inline a little, and then lower the dwell a bit and continue to raise it until it peaks. Then you are good. I have also noticed that if you just raise your dwell until the gun seems most consistent it works just as well, but keep in mind you will want some high quality paint to get accurate readings.
Hope this helps SKeet
ok cheers i kind of get it now, but i dont want to put my dwell over 10 then? im not to sure what mine is atm as i dont like pissing around with that stuff, but i may wright down what it all is then give this a try.
hence me finding it and posting it, dude
crumpler, you can have a dwell of >10ms
just might not be the most efficient way to set your marker up

well i think mine is at 9.5 now
Ok so to recap:
1: make LPR and inline bolts Flush,
2: gas gun up
3: screw LRP in 1.5-2 turns
4: slowly (while shooting) screw inline in 2.5-3 turns
5: up dwell till desired Fps is reached
That all ok? and i take it i start my dwell on 8ms?

thats not how id do it...
set lpr flush and damn well leave it whatever people say
screw hpr 3 turns in
screw in air, turn air on
turn gun on
up dwell over a chrono like it says adjusting the hpr as you go if the gun is shooting far too hot (320fps)
dwell at 8 to start would seem a safe bet on an 056 i presume you have. i used to run my 05 on dwell 8 lpr flush
whatever you do dont turn the LPR screw MORE than 2 turns in or it will wear the springs down prematurely

Looks pretty clear to me, will try setting up like that at the weekend, as I have only been using stock settings so far and would like my velocity a bit more consistent.
