hi guys I'm new to this forum. I have a question.I have an A5 with r/t super r/t kit,vortex w/ lightning rod and polished internals. I just switched to hpa PMI 72/3000 w/remote/slide check.when I use co2 every thing works fine but when I use the hpa the cyclone will not cycle unless I turn the fva in all the way.this happens on gun or with the remote.I have installed the BT red drive spring and no change. dose anyone have any ideas? BTW I tested the tank on an A5 with out the r/t and it worked fine.

As often pointed out the cyclone has issues unless carefully set up. I suggest reading this thread, second post is about how to check up on your cyclone. I'd give you some personal help but I have yet to get mine for my 98C.

well after alot of searching and reading several ideas I finally figured it out.I stripped the marker down last night to check orings,power tube, valve,and front and rear bolts, all were good.so I checked all the tubes for the r/t and cyclone and made sure all the banjo fittings were aligned correctly also removed the restrictor from the line that the super r/t kit tells you to use. I took it to work today and tested and it worked flawlessly. ran a complete tank of air through it and even ran the fva in and out and it never stopped working,also reinstalled the stock rear spring and it continued to work fine. thanks for the help and I hope this can help someone else with this problem.
