Hi All

I very little about electronics and need expert help please. I have a paintball gun that will not fire. Found the cap, 6800uF, 16V to be swollen and leaked. The only replacement I could find is a 10000uF 16V. Will it work to fire a solenoid? What are the pro's or con's of doing this?

Thanks in advance

Yes it will work. It will actually store more energy than the original so you might see a little increase in firing power.
