I bought an A-5 about 2 weeks ago and and have shoot about a case of paint through it using the E-grip and compressed air, but my cyclone feeder is having problems rotating. When the velocity is screwed all the way in at the lowest FPS it spins fine with no problems but when the FPS is higher it skips shots. I called up tippmann and they said it was because of the ratchet but the ratchet looks just fine to me. They sent me a new one but I dont think thats the problem. I have never shot C02 through it and its brand new, and I dont know why this is happening. Any ideas for what I could try?
