EGB-10 Two-Solenoid Speed Setting Mechanism Manual 37729 Operation (Figure 2) Idle Speed When solenoid A is energized, its plunger is seated and subgovernor pressure oil forces the seal piston up. The seal piston raises the seal spring, idle speed piston, idle speed screw, maximum speed piston, and the piston link. Upward movement of the idle speed screw and attached linkage stops when the idle speed piston contacts the retaining ring.
