Noticed it after the last game.
I'd shoot it and no balls would come out, i'd have to press the reset level in order to feed balls in. any suggestions? |

Man! Don't you guys understand I can't read minds. 1.5 of what left? of air? 1.5 oz left or air I'm guessing (because smarty pants above said air)? But how would he know or measure how much air he has left in his tank to say he has 1.5 (blank) left of air? Please respond and make sense. Or I will go on strike and I won't give answers that make sense either. - Ya that's right you heard me : Rice Krispies! |

chances are your ratchet is broken. does it have a letter A on the bottom of the feeder? if not, then call tippmann, and they should send you one for free.

AHH no his ratchet isnt broken it still feeds when he uses the manual feed. im guessing it would be low on air even if 1500psi should be enoguh but you never know.

this same issue happened to me. Make sure the air line that feeds the cyclone is straight! if its bent not enough air will get to cyclone to turn it.

if the cyclone doesn't have an "A" on the bottom face of the cyclone, then it was made in the first production run of cyclones. these ones were prone to prematurely breaking and not feeding...i know quite a few people on here had this issue, but yet, when they pressed the manual piston, it stil fed. call tippmann, and they should send you replacement parts. |

I'd assume he was low on air as well.. I was just taking some shots to test my gun out, and I noticed the Cyclone wasn't spinning. After about 10 more shots my tank ran out completely. |

If its not your air its your ratchet. Also, just in case, make sure is lubed up good in the proper places |
