check the rachet if you have not upgraded to metal one nows the time but tippmann will send you a free plastic one that will break again

You aren't really going to do this are you???....TGE

Do you have the banjo turned so the whole is facing the right way? It's a stupid problem but it happens alot.

Does the pro shop carry ratchets?

We have a complete Tippmann parts kit so I imagine that we would have ratchets.

I was a little upset the other day when I had my toys out. One of the A5s that I put the black squishy paddles in became too soft.?.?.? they started to slide around the metal ratchet. This cause a lot of problems with it not advancing the balls at all of allowing them to go back and forth between the cyclone and the breach and chopping them when I fired. I ended up going back to the stock paddles till I can get another set and see if it happens again.

My other A5 had a similar issue but it seems that the ratchet does not line up to feed the balls properly. The paddles are tight and aligned with the slot on the ratchet but when it is completed a cycle it stops with the paddles open allowing the balls to go between the breach and the cyclone. I am not sure which supplier/manufacturer this one came from because it was installed on the gun when I bouight it (loven Ebay). But it seems to me that it was a miss milled/alighned part from the factory. I tried the paddles from a couple other guuns and they all had the same issue in this cyclone.

I was going out to play and all of this hppened. Both the guns I anticipated to use (with the completely upgraded cyclones) let me down. I had to use an A5 that I haden't even taken apart to clean yet (that I got off Ebay the week prior with the stock cyclone and my HE Gripp). IT WORKED FINE. LOL go figure.

Has anyone else had this issue?
