There needs to be a tiny bit of clearance between sections and gaurds, otherwise it will run hot (big no no), and if things are to tight, your belt or pitman stick won't move the sickle. I am guessing you need new hold downs and wear plates under back side of sickle.
Just another point of advice, if your mower has been sitting outside and the sickle and bar got all rusty, it will usually not mow real good and clog up on the bar untill things get shined up. This is a problem that don't last real long if that's the reason. It only takes about an hour or less of mowing to get the rust knocked off. I am guessing you have hold down and plate problems though.
Also, no matter how good you got things, you can't mow when it's wet or even dewy. Or in the evening or at night when things are tuff. You probly already know this.
I usually use top serated sections. In my opinion, if the seration starts pulling things through the gaurd, it's pulling things through on top helping out your hold down, and not pulling things through underneath working against the cutting edge of the gaurd.
