I changed the buffer to an H2 w/same carbine action spring and I opened gas port up to .076 from .061 to start cycling properly.
After that I dropped an adjustable gas block on it to adjust to ammo changes, found the sweet spot and left it there.
I'm not saying you will need to do all that but start at the buffer weight.
First change to lighter buffer and see if that will get your timing back. H or H2.
Good luck.
