No, you don't see the problem - it turns HARDER than heck even before you
get
into compression. You'll see next Aug.

Glenn,

I think I see your problem...

Open the compression release or hold a valve open to bring the piston up
onto compression furthur than you could normally pull it.  THEN pull it
the rest of the way!  Easy peasy.  You'll need to experiment to find the
optimum point to close the valve or compression release.

See ya,  Arnie
