I purchased the vortex cyclone mod for my A5, but after I assemble it(I think, I cant recall what it looked like inside but I'm pretty sure I got it) the cylcone wont move unless I move it w/ my finger. I've tried several different things over the period of about 4 hours and I give up. My cyclone does have the "A" on the bottom, but I'm out of ideas. Please Help, and Thank You all for your time.

A- i think one guy called tippmann and they gave him one with the A on the bottom.

did you try cutting one circle off the spring on the ratchet guide?

Yea I did cut off 1 spring coil, and my cyclone is the one w/ the A. Should I call Tippmann anyway.

Check that the roll pins on the new  V-ratchet are in all the way.

check where the piston attaches to the V-ratchet , does it move freely.

check the new feedr axle (V-axle) is pushed in all the way, sometimes they slip off the spring retainer .

Did you grease it, light grease such as lithium

Just go through the instructions again and make sure you placed everything correctly.

You need to grease the heck out of it as I did.  I used some lithium grease and pretty much lubed up anything I can think of.  I haven't had any problems with it so far.  One thing to remember though is to loctite the screw that holds the blade in place.  I had a problem with it coming loose during games and the balls did not feed.

I had that problem too, the small retaining arm got slightly bent and it would try to ratchet, but the arm wouldn't fall into place and advance the ratchet.  i was able to bend it back to its original shape, and it works great now...
