"BULLET" Flow control valve

The flow control valve consists of a sub-spool which is pushed to the right when the fluid pressure rises as the engine speed increases (and consequently, the pump discharge rate becomes higher). When the sub-spool is shifted to the right, the variable orifice is narrowed, thus the discharge rate is reduced.
