SOURCE: Tippmann a5 cycles just not fast

The cyclone is supposed to feed at least 15 p/s if you are having that problem I would take apart the cyclone make is clean, you would not believe how much paint can get in there. I would check the hose and after that the o-ring on the cylinder piston. Another thing that might be messing the cyclone is the speed on the marker or the valve itself not sending the amount of CO2 or air to the cyclone. I hope this helps.

SOURCE: I have a tippmann custom

Hi there. Tippmann markers are super tough to make sure that they are put back together properly. The stupid clamshell design plus all the little, under engineered parts make it difficult to get it back together properly, especially after installing a stock. I was in the paintball industry for 10 years but have been out of it for a little bit, but i was one of the founding members of Uprising Nation and was a gunsmith/ salesman for PaintballOnline.com / Xtremes. Now with that said...I even had trouble with the tippmann 98's...and I can rebuild an autococker with my eyes closed but can sometimes be stumped by the tippy's bad design. It is really tough to diagnose an issue on these guns without looking at it. You may have the ball detent backwards,l missing a pin, sometimes the after market stocks on those are a little too large on the outside diameter preventing the internals from properly seating. The cycloce system may be off due to the valves not meing properly aligned or the connecting rod not being in all the way. Many times though it is incorrect installation of the detent or the deternt gets damages. That little orange peice of **** flap is a mance. I would start there.

It may seem like i am bashing your gun. Im not... Once they are put together properly they work great. Just DONT TAKE THEM APART. lol. If you buy the parts at a local gun shop they will install them for free.

lol I have 6 guns for sale :)


Have a good day

My hitachi nail gun NV 50AA will fire, but won't advance the nails on a regular basis
NV50 nailer is very difficult to repair due to complicated feeder /feeder spring / feeder retainer pin design. You most likely need to replace the orings on the feeder piston. Problem is that you must remove the feed pin/ spring to get the piston out. If you are going to attempt to replace the orings, study how the pin is installed otherwise you will make it worse. Order new springs (2 different springs ) and install them when you are going back together. Good luck

Nv45ab won't advance nails
The allen screw/s that you mention are there to plug holes where automatic equipment would normally connect (such as automatic nailing machines) . This is only a plug and should not be driven in too far. I have also seen allen screws installed in the head to repair small crack/s.

DOESN'T FEED,IT MIGHT MISS SHOOT A TIME OR TWO THEN GET A NAIL THEN NOT FEED.I'M SHOOTING A 1.5"TECO NAIL. ANOTHER GUN DOESN'T SHOOT EVERY TIME LIKE THE DEPRESSOR ISN'T LETTING THE...
Usually miss feed happens when the driver does not return to top position not allowing the nails to feed into position. Easy to check, point nose of nailer up then down again to see if the driver is loose in the cylinder. If loose, the driver will be in the down position when the side door is opened. If driver is down, replace driver oring. If driver oring is good, look for spring tension on feeder and check feeder spring on the door side. If piston oring good and feeders have good spring tension, suspect lower bumper cracked(remove head and piston to check bumper).
On gun with depressor (safty foot) not actuating trigger, look for worn trigger (trigger inner lever could be worn) or loose or worn firing pin in the trigger valve above the trigger(valve # tva6). Replace as needed. To check for proper gun action, remove the nails, remove the 3mm roll pin holding trigger and dry fire the gun by depressing the tigger pin. Good luck

What causes it to shoot a double, or triple nail sometimes?
Make sure that orings are in good shape, lower bumper not cracked, (no leaks and the driver/piston stays at the top position, if piston drops a little or all the way down with no nails in gun, replace piston oring). Also check spring tension for feeder and two check paws in the door (feeder tension should be firm ). Adjust the timing screw up or down one or two turns and test (timing screw at the top of safety foot, head of screw pushes on the firing valve ). Test for lower bumper cracked. Remove nails and leave side door open. Hold the nose of the gun against coiled air hose or thick rubber and press and hold the trigger. The piston will stay down against the bumper until you release the trigger. No air should leak out the driver path. If air leaks past driver suspect bad bumper. Test action of feeder piston. Remove side cover to feed piston and clean debris. With air disconnected, move the feed piston back and forward. There should be a little resistance, if it moves very easy, suspect orings worn. As soon as you connect the air line. the feed piston should move forward with force, note the position of the feeder. Now with air disconnected, place nails on the feeder. The first nail should be well within the path of the driver. If not fully under driver path suspect worn feeder / feeder retainer pin, or debris inside feed piston chamber preventing piston from full forward travel (debris from inside of the gun will enter the feed piston chamber usually broken bits of lower bumper). Replace parts as needed. Good luck with your repair.

I hav a coil nailer the problem coming is it fires double nail right after one blank shot , i hav tried everything by replacing its all types of O rings also changed the piston but the problem still...
Remove nails from the canister and test fire the gun very rapidly with side door open against hard rubber (old tire or coiled up rubber hose ) to absorb the energy. Look for driver and feeder to move in time together and driver should return to top each time. If feeder appears to lag behind, check feeder orings and air passage to feeder piston. If driver appears to come out out nose too far or if it does not go back to top every time suspect problem with bumper or cylinder check seal. Look at feed check built into the side door. These must make contact with nails to prevent miss fire. If all appears to look normal, replace the TVA6 valve if the firing pin fits/feels loose in body of the valve. Miss fire occurs when nail checks do not hold nails in place (feed checks on door and feed piston) and or the piston does not go all the way back up so the nail can not feed into place. Less often, miss fire is caused by lower bumper missing pieces /cracking and the crumbeling bumper pieces enter the feed piston chamber preventing the feeder from making full travel forward. One more area to check is the head /headvalve. Remove head and pull out headvalve. Remove fine scratches on surface of head where orings make contact (use 400 grit paper) and lube with silicone paste lube (sold at Lowes in the plumbing department). Finally check the cylinder seal sitting on top of the cylinder. It should fit very snugly against the cylinder and not turn. If it can be turned, replace with new or remove and apply RTV sealant and replace, then wait 24 hours before use. Good luck

Bostitch Rn46-1 Nail feed keeps coming dislodged when firing gun
The feeder will dislodge if the feed paw spring is weak or missing. Replace with new spring to keep the feeder paw in place. Visual test with good feed spring. Remove nails and open side door. Fire gun rapidly against hard rubber or coiled air hose. The feeder should move back and fourth in time with the piston/driver. If the feeder seems to move in slow motion compared to the driver, check feeder piston orings and feeder piston spring. If both feeder piston orings and spring are in good condition, then check air passage to feeder piston chamber for obstruction. Sometimes debris will lodge in white oring where body mates to nose of gun. Good luck

I have an a5 paintball gun with electronic trigger, when i hook it to air and pull the trigger, the hopper is not moving!!!
On the A5 the hopper or Cyclone feed is powered thru a small tube on the feeder side
of the gun. Make sure that tube is connected and if so, pull it off and see if air is flowing
thru it when you pull the trigger. If not, the internal passage may be blocked. Tear down
the gun and clean out the obstruction. If there is a pulse of air coming out the tube when firing
then it may be the Cyclone feed mechanism. Just unscrew the 3 phillips head bolts
under the Cyclone and observe the air driven gear drive. Air up the marker and see
what is moving or not moving. Complete replacement upgrade Cyclone gear drives
are available that say they increase performance if you cant get it moving.

Shoots one nail then it stops it fires but no nail
This is a very popular gun, very light and powerful. Skipping nails is not a common problem. Here are a few things to check that would cause the issue. (First remove air hose and nails.) Worn piston oring (piston will be in the down position). Open side door and check that piston is at top. If oring ok, check feed spring under feeder claw. If spring is in place, push feeder in manually. It should be very difficult to move feeder shaft. If it moves easily then spring inside feeder chamber is broken. If ok, connect air to gun, leaving side door open (nails removed) and bump fire gun against hard rubber (or coiled rubber hose ) very rapidly. While bump firing rapidly, look at feeder moving back and forward. It should be moving very quickly keeping up with speed of driver. If it appears to be moving slowly compared to driver there is an air feed restriction to feeder chamber. Check for debris in small air passage to chamber. Remove two allen screws holding nose of gun to body and examine the small white teflon oring between nose and body(part #149885). Sometimes this oring traps dirt and grime or just simply gets pressed so tightly that center hole is restricted. You must use the correct teflon oring here because the nose and body fit so tightly together that a rubber oring will close air path. Good luck.

Feeding nails
Your nailer shares design features with Milwaukee and Ridgid. All three brands experience the same issue. Lets go thru a series of simple tests to determine the problem. First and most simple test, manually load the nails and fire the gun untill miss-fire. Upon mis-fire disconnect air, open latch and check if the driver is all the way up into the cylinder or is partially down blocking next nail. If driver is down blocking next nail, replace the driver oring and retest. If driver is up all the way, remove nails, reconnect airline, leave latch open and fire gun against rubber (old tire or coiled up waterhose/airhose) this time holding the gun down and keeping the trigger depressed. In this position, the driver will remain down and feeder will remain retracted. With feeder retracted and screwdriver in hand carefully check the spring tension on the feeder (should be rather firm tension on spring and the feeder must retract with good force). If no tension or weak, replace feed spring. When you finally release the trigger, the driver will retract and the feeder should return with good force. If feeder does not return with force, replace orings and spring behind feed piston. If all tests are ok, remove head, check lower bumper in gun for cracks or missing pieces. Replace as necessary. Lube all orings with silicone lube available at Lowes in the plumbing department. (Danco brand) Good luck on your repair and email your questions.
