Probly just not enough air getting to the cyclone. Retry with a full tank. May want to add an expansion chamber if your running CO2.

More than likely since it's used, you need to check all o-rings and the ratchet. The ratchet is likely broken. Call Tippmann or order http://www.chasepb.com You may want to grab a few of them in case it breaks on the field again.
