    No, not normal. They should flow freely if everything is clean, clean pivot points and ball paths. Maybe the brass pivot points are tarnished/dirty?

    On the BC you can open the tray or take the tray right out and watch from behind what’s hanging up the feeder.
    Just hold the flag down..

    Dirty balls perhaps? I've had that happen to me and began pulling the two hairs left in my head, till one day I washed them in a solvent based degreaser and viola! Not noticeable to the naked eye but it worked.
