So i have had the gun for about 3 weeks now and i went out to play i quick pickup game and all of a sudden the cyclone feed stopped rotating inside. i could manualy feed a ball into the chamber but after every shot it just wont turn on its own. i havent taken it apart yet cause i had to come to work. the tank was just filled and i couldn't hear or see any leaks in the air line so it there something that may have happened inside that i should look for and is this a common issue for this style feed? Any help would be great thanks guys. |

Are you using CO2? If so was it still cold there? Did you screw the tank in too much? ANd finally the kicker... check the ratchet, did it break? ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">

| yeah it is still cold here so im thinking it may have just been some liquid co2 in the gun keeping it from working. but i was running the gun on a remote setup so i was hoping that may have helped a little bit. and i havent had the time to take the peice apart to check the rachet so i may do that on my lunch break here at work. |

most likely your ratchet is broken... you can either call tippmann for a replacement ratchet [should be free], or you can purchase a after-market ratchet upgrade [which is metal, so it shouldn't break again..] ------------- smg-60 sl-68 68 special A-5 |

If he can still manually feed the marker, the ratchet isn't broken. -------------

| Ok, let's try asking this. When the marker fires, do you get 1-2 shots and then it stops feeding? or does it just not feed at all?? |

Could be close to running out of gas.. like ceesman said if you get 1-2 shots before it feeds again its starting to run out
