On full uato at 15bps it seems my a-5 is skipping a ball every now and then. It doesn't chop at all though. Normally I'd say it happens, but isn't the cyclone suppose to be able to handle 15bps consistently? Think something in my cyclone is worn down or what? Thanks.

On a side note, I'm aware that as your hopper begins to empty the cyclone skips a shot here and there because paint isn't falling into the stars but although its hard to tell, it seemed that there was enough paint in my hopper to avoid skips.

Any hopper will skip everynow and then. Its just how the balls fall, However if it does it alot there could be something wrong.

The cyclone will most definately max out, no matter what people say.

Adding a quick exhaust valve to the cyclone cylinder will help.

you mean it will max out at a certain ROF though, right? I mean should it really max out at 15bps? It was only firing for a seconds when it skipped...
