    Posted: 01 April 2006 at 5:03pm

SO here's my setup

A5

EGRIP W/ RAMPAGE Board

QEV MOD

Palmer Stabilizer

when i shoot the cyclone is not always feeding the balls into the gun like its not spinning them, but it is spinning

and does move

when i manually depress the plunger though it loads evey time, its just not doing it automaticially, any ideas ?

 

I WONDER HOW I GOT 2 STRIKES?

it's not the rachet if it still spins when you manually activate it. Check the pressure on the stabilizer.

The ratchet can be worn or partially broken and still work manually.

well, i'ts not the ratchet....

 

I went through step by step and for some reason its the QEV is not letting any air pass through it, I played with the banjo bolt in different ways, but i cant get it to let any air go through..

if i put the stock line back on for the ram eveything works fine

Are you connecting the gas input to the "long " side of the QEV, the short side is the Exhaust. Or if you have the adjustable type from palmer it might be screwed in to far hitting the ram/piston inside the cylinder
