id wipe off the oil and put it back together. try that to start. the oil may be creating an uninteneded seal, not allowing the blowback air to cycle the cyclone

Did you take the Cyclone apart? Does the Cyclone "click" when you manually operate it? If not it's not put together correctly. Also,
make sure you are not missing any of the o-rings that are in the banjo
fittings. If the banjo fittings are loose, the Cyclone won't work either. Is your tank low on pressure? This will also stop
the Cyclone. |

Try disconnecting the Response Trigger, sometimes the response id dialed too high and is using all the blow back and there is none for the cyclone to use

Take out the Zero Kick Hammer & any other
aftermarket parts. Return it to all stock. Your marker will probably work much
better. |

I know this can be fustrating but bear with us. We need you to return to the stock parts to start eliminating and narrowing down the issue.
When you said that you took it appart to oil it. Exactly what parts did you open up and oil. Make sure you didn't over tighten the paddles Check your banjo fittings make sure that there are no tears or holes in the black macro line. Make sure it's not pinched or that the piston is turned so that the macro line is colapsed. If you can post some pictures of your cyclones and it's connections.
