check the cyclone house to make sure its all together right.  if its not the cyclone may not be cycling right. it should be hard to find a picture or small animation of how it works on google

Remove the power bolt tube and put the original internals back in.  Just about every aftermarket bolt replacement are a waste of money and don't give the marker any better performance.  In some cases, they can hinder it.  The stock internals for Tippmann markers are the best.  You won't find anything better out there.

No one mentioned it so I will. Make sure your tank is full. When the pressure gets very low it won't spin correctly. The T-tech stuff helps, but it will still eventually not have enough pressure to move.

Press the pistol in manually and listen for the click noise when you let go, if it doesn't click then something isn't installed right.

I know it is a pretty new gun, but this still sounds like ratchet wear.  Check the ratchet for a rounded edge.

i can bet that the little black line that feeds air to your cyclone is bent. Make sure its straight and then give it a whirl. Let me know if that was it ;)
