Troubleshooting Solenoid Leaks

If your INFERNO, REAPER or BOLT HPA engine has low joules and/or inconsistent firing issues, it may be caused by a slow leak from the solenoid.

To test this, disconnect your battery, pressurize your engine and place the endcap of the solenoid in water. Bubbles coming from the endcap indicate an air leak. If your solenoid is leaking, we do not recommend attempting to repair it yourself. Please create a support ticket titled “Solenoid Leak” and attach a photo or video of the leak.

Be sure to dry your solenoid thoroughly after this test.

General Engine Maintenance

Regular maintenance on an HPA engine should be performed every 25-50k rounds depending on the conditions it is being used in. The dustier and dirtier the conditions, the more frequently it should be serviced. Maintaining the INFERNO requires disassembling the engine and lubricating/cleaning/replacing the O-Rings.

For detailed instructions, please see the Owner’s Manual for your engine.
