Geo+ problems at LL6

So, LL6 was my first chance to use my geo since I picked it up a month or so ago.

It worked great saturday morning. Not impressed with the efficiency, but I can deal with that because of all day air. However getting into the afternoon it started acting up.

I can best describe it as bolt stick. It would take 6 or 7 shots in pretty quick succession to get it firing normally again.

So Saturday evening I cleaned and very lightly relubed the bolt with PE Grease. I also bumped the dwell from 12.5 to 14.5.

Again, sunday morning it was working great without any issues. But during the final battle it started experiencing bolt stick again. Again I was able to clear it with a bunch of quick shots.


Then it got weird. I noticed after I went through my hopper and four pods that the back 1/3 of the body was quite warm to the touch. And was alot warmer than the rest of the body was.

Anyone have suggestions?

*edit*
Also, I was feeling quite a bit of air on my hands by the front of the frame/eye covers on each shot. Is this normal?

So no one has any ideas? Or is all that garbage too long?

Here's the short version.
-----------------------------------
Bad bolt stick in afternoon after working fine in morning. Relubed per Jack's video and up'd dwell from 12.5 to 14.5. Still bad bolt stick. And towards end of day body of gun got hot.

I just got an oring kit in the mail last night so I'm going to check for proper oring fit, but the bolt moves pretty easily in the can.

Is it possible the battery was going flat?

Brand new Duracell. I tried that too.

How smoothly should the bolt slide within the can? Even with new o-rings, it has more resistance than I expected.
