Cyclone Not Turning Issue Solved!!!

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Well after 3 pain staking hours of trying to find out why my cyclone wasent turning i found out why. It was the air hose that connects to the gun and the cyclone. Make sure that the air hose that connects to the cyclone is STRAIGHT!!!! not Curved in any way! If it is not straight not enough air will get into the cyclone to turn it! I was surprised because it was a small curve in the hose and it cause the cyclone not to turn. To fix this, use a wrench to turn the bolt that holds the flat head screw in place until it reaches a position that forces the gas tube to be straight with the cyclone. Once the tube is straight, use the wrench to hold the bolt in place while your other hand uses a flathead screwdriver to retighten the bolt so it does not move. This will keep the hose straight permanantly.This solved my problem:) I also feel this is the reason why sometimes my balls would break in my cyclone. If i was shooting very fast not enough air would get through to the cyclone and force it to skip and break a ball. 
I really hope this helps some of you who have yet to solve this problem.:)

	The ball breaks are common when shooting fast cuz the air gets jammed up trying to get back out of the the piston this can be partially solved by the Vortex mod it will need less air to cycle. You can also install a QEV by palmers this helped me consistantly shoot 20 BPS not that I really ever use it. I have a rampage board and i have my gun set to 15bps for regular use it just seems to work better and i don't have to worry about ball breaks anymore.
