I just bought a new A5 with etrigger. I immediately changed to a Tippmann flatline barrel, but made no other changes. When I fire, four or five balls are fed, but then the feeder stops. Manually feeding balls works fine. Any ideas what the cause might be?

The cyclone stops working? Are you using CO2 or HPA? If you are running CO2, make sure the tank is full. If you are air, detach and disassemble the cyclone and see if any of the parts are worn or damaged.

Yeah, I'd also do a soap and water test on the valve tap and line leading to the cyclone system to see if there are any loose connections or fittings that could cause a loss in pressure.

Check to see if the airline between the cyclone and the QEV isn't pinched, also, when you put the cyclone back on, did you torque it down all the way until the screw stopped ? If so, back it off a quarter of a turn. Overtightening can cause the feed paddles to bind.
