It could not be getting enough air. 

What is your setup?  Do you have LPK?

I think wider hoses might help.  Also upgrading it doesn't hurt at all.

yeah, since the gun is operating at a lower pressure, the cyclone is getting starved. call Tippmann and ask them for the low-pressure hoses. that should make a difference...

When i bought the low pressure kit it came with the porper hoses for the feeder, should i replace them ?

I think its the valve on the feeder, not sure tho but they have the new lighting rod for the feeder so ima upgrade to that and a vortex mod for the feeder hopefully should solve the proplem.

thnx guys
