If you grasp the rear of the primer slide and pull it rearward, does the slide go back far enough to pick up a primer?

Yes it does.

Be sure the bottom of the the op rod bracket (clamped around the black primer shield) is within .002"-.004" of touching the frame of the machine.

Next, check the two small screws that anchor the roller bracket to the underside of the platform. Be sure they are tight.

I'm having the same problem...... Bar doesn't come back enough to pick the primer up. I've bent the operating bar, cleaned (many) times, etc!! Does someone have a pic or diagram of what needs to be adjusted to get things working correctly?

I'm glad I bought a 550B, but, I need to get the kinks worked out...
