1. Make sure the edges of the slider (pointed to by the arrows below) are smooth.
If you can run your fingernail along the four edges and your fingernail catches then the edge is rough. Use some 320 grit sandpaper to smooth the edges Mine also had a small vertically-oriented ridge on one side that I needed to sand off. Check all four edges (both sides).
2. Squirt a little powdered graphite into the track that the slider runs in.
3. Both ends of the primer tube are not the same. One end is turned down and has a small shoulder on it. This end goes into the primer housing. On the small primer tube this shoulder is less visible and so it is easy to insert the tube upside down.
4. Examine the slider to see if it has been machined correctly in the area pointed to by the arrow:
On one of my sliders, it was as if the device milling the 'funnel' (for lack of a better word) and the device drilling the hole were not exactly concentric. As a result there was a small lip at the point of the arrow and the primer would catch on it. 2 minutes with a file solved this problem.
