My cyclone feed only spins manualy and will not rotate, and put another round in the chamber, when discharged with the tank. I am guessing that there is a problem with maintaining pressure between the power tube and the cyclone feed system? just curious if anyone has run into a similar problem and more importantly if there may be an easy fix.

You may want to list your marker and set up in order to let everyone know what you are working with. One simple thing to try regarless of the gun is to make sure the screw on the top of the cyclone blades isnt tightened too much. Also, is your tank full? A low CO2 tank will result in the cyclone feed not working. You can also use the "search" button and there are tons of threads on this very subject. Perhaps one of those has the solution to your problem.

I am using an x7 with a flatline barrel, again everything else works so im sure its a problem in the tube of the cyclone, when i replaced the actual cyclone feed with another one from a seperate kit, i got it working again. It would just be nice to have both cyclones working so i could put it back on the 98 custom.
