Any advice much appreciated

Using the ammo you intend to regularly use
Turn it all the way off, load one round in the mag and shoot, shouldn't cycle at all. open the gas port little bit at a time repeating until the bolt just holds open on the bolt release. open 1/4 to 1/2 turn more and you are good to go

Sweet, thanks

Set it in cold weather. You dont want to set it up on the hottest day of the year and get to a 3 gun match in winter and nothing works
