Haven't been able to play paintball in a while (various reasons) and I played the other day and ran into some problems. Here they are.

1. I have a 98 custom with e-bolt, LPK, and a cyclone. Time before last I played no problems, but the other day I aired up my gun and noticed that my cyclone wasnt working. I had people waiting on me to play so i just turned up my regulator (alot) until the cyclone started turning and turned my dwell all the way down (didnt want to injure anyone more than I had to). I just used that as a temp fix, anyone know what the problem could be? Cyclone wasnt too tight, been oiled recently, and put together correctly.

2. I have a different 98 custom with a response trigger (and for a bit a flatline).  I let my brother use this one. I aired it up the other day and the response trigger is incredibly fast (so fast that it is actually eating away my sear). Anyone know the problem? I will reply with a url to a video of it in half hour or so.

3. When my brother used the 98 with response it had the flatline barrel on it. I didn't clean it because I figured he did, but I check it out the other day and it has dried paint in it. Wouldn't come out so I soaked the barrel in hot water (not boiling hot) and ran the squeege through it and got some of the paint out, but not all of it. I touched the paint and it very sticky (the closest thing I can think it is similar to is if you wrap duct tape around your finger and get the duct tape wet a little then let it dry and remove the duct tape from your finger. It leaves a sticky substance on your finger. This stuff is a little worse than that.)

Hope you guys can help me out

As for the paint redidue, it may be wax. I know some paints have a wax in them. I'm still looking for a decent solvent that user friendly.

The hard way may be to just keep soaking and then squeeging repeatedly.
