I've been playing with a Tippmann A-5 for a few months and have no problems...yesterday while playing the cyclone feed quit working:shocked7fl: . I pulled off the bottom plate and the black rachet gear is still in tact, and the manual push still causes the feed to spin. The feed still wont spin while pulling the trigger though. Anyone had this issue or know how to fix?? thanks for any info!

^^ i bet thats not true... i bet you said you didnt want to wait for them tyo get if fixed, or that you didnt want for them to pay to send it off.. or maybe you were just being a jerk(like in the post above) and the store wasnt intrested in helping you:shocked7fl:

i doubt snyone would say that to you, they may have said something like why dont you leave it with us, so that we can take a better look at it, and if necessary send it off to some one mor highly trained in angels, i doubt they would have said: i dk whats wrong and tell me sry maybe an angel tech can fix it?

maybe you should check the hose to see if it is attached right because if it isn't it won't spin.

I checked the hose as well and made sure everything was tight and all...everything appears the same as it was when I started the round...if the hose wasnt attached properly would it leak air or anything???

that would have been my next guess.
its hard to diagnose angels without hearing the leak. usually down the barrel, and through the breech, is the valve.
hope you got it fixed. the master tech's for angel usually do a great job.
