Default New engine question, OS 46AX

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, http://www.rcgroups.com/articles/rcp...s/engstart.wmv

Any ideas?

Thanks much!

Jeff
