A5 cyclone feeder

[mattman]

i have just got a second hand air bottle and thought id have a little go but when i went to use my gun the feeder aint working but it seemed to fire normally! so i stripped the feeder down recleaned it! put it bk together and still does not work, stripped it down again, and checked the pipe that goes from the gun to the feeder and all is fine, i then tried the bottle on another A5 and the same has happened..the feeder not working but gun seems to fire normally?!?!?!?

Any suggestions please

When i had my a5, the ratchet

(this:http://www.cozmopaintball.com/Tippman-A5-Cyclone-Feed-Ratchet-Replacement-p-118.html)

Can become worn resulting in the feed not turning. Although, i cant explain why the other gun didn't work

Replace the part, and see if it works then.....
Hope that helps

*EDIT* Heres one you can buy:
