I'm a complete newbie to RC airplanes and installed a new OS 46AX engine this weekend and had a question about starting it. It seems like there is quite a level of resistance when cranking the engine. Is this normal? Is this the way a brand new engine behaves? I was watching a video clip of someone testing the same engine and he hand started it with what seemed to be very little to no resistance. The clip is located here,

Any ideas?
Thanks much!
