How to replace your Cyclone's Ratchet (PICS!)

[Trigga Nometry]

I found these pics from a really old post on the Tippmann forum. I can’t believe I still had them on a CD that was lost.

These were downloaded in about 2003. They are a great pictorial on how to dissemble your Tippmann A-5’s Cyclone to replace the ratchet when it gets worn.

Red]Click on the links for LARGE, detailed pics. They are in order of disassembly and reassembly:

why do you have a flow control on your cyclone?

That is not my cyclone. But to answer your question, Tippmann included those on the first few batches of A-5's. Since then, they have decided that they were no longer needed for proper use of the Cyclone.
