I have an Ares AM013 (Honey badger) which is shooting around 215-220 fps with .25s. The range is fine but the bbs go very slow to there target. I know my honey badger is one of the older models and is completely stock. I am looking at just replacing the spring with an M90 to get the fps up to just over 300 (350fps limit) but i have no idea what this could do to the gun and if anything else will also need replacing. Any help is appreciated.

I thought they came with at least an M90 from factory. Amoeba have a habit of putting strong springs in short barrel RIFs to get the FPS to 320 on 0.2's.
You should be aiming for around 340 with a 0.2 if your site limit is 350 NOT 350 with a 0.25.

It will most likely be the piston head, cylinder head or nozzle, ideally you need to test all the components. You've definitely got a leak somewhere with those readings. The spring could have gone as well but fix the compression first

Final got the gear box open and i cant see anything wrong. The compression seems okay when I test it with my hands. Is there anything in particular i should look for? The nozzle is somewhat lose and does allow some air to escape but i feel like something else is causing it.

The tappet plate seemed fine. What problems should I look for on the tappet plate?

General wear, especially near the fin (the end that hits the sector gear) or cracks where the plate meets the nozzle.
