I've always had issues with various tapes feeding, sometime adding a fishing weight to the carrier part, sometimes abandoning the cover tape take up spool and draping the cover tape over the top and adding a weight.
One thing I tried recently which seems to help a bit is covering the parts of the parts tape path after the parts are removed ( eg the inside of the front cover of the feeder, the bottom corner of the feeder and the edge of the table)
Just plain old Teflon / PTFE self adhesive tape ( ebay item 333966417304 ) it has a low coefficient of friction and it may be my imagination but it does seem to work.

Yeah, I think it stops the tape jumping around so much.
