shes a running

question how many winds do I need to do the "cyclone" dont want to over wind it.

You need to wind it 30 times. The Star Feeder (Cyclone) loads 5 paintballs with each revolution. The stock tippmann loader is a 150rd Indian Springs "Maxi Loader", so 30x5=150. It was not designed to be wound more than that, so if you tempted to throw on a larger hopper from an A5, keep that in mind. Many of the F/A's out there have broken springs from overwinding.

You will certainly feel when you can't go any further. Don't force it, but keep in mind 5 balls per turn.

ok so after running a hopper through it, some more questions, is it possible for the rate of fire screw to back out? i was starting to get burping (not 100% sure that the fill was great...i didnt do it

) and it was happy on HPA under 1K (which i thought sounded normal) but it looked like the screw might have moved out I backed it off a small amount and the marker seemed fine....again it might have been that he co2 tank had time to warm up.....thoughts anyone?
