It may have been "brand new", but how old is it? The diaphram is likely n=

eing rubber, can get old and stiff if it hasn't been run in many years. (=
Consider using tires that are "brand new", but which haven't been run in =
40 years. They're likely to be pretty hard and maybe cracked.=20
Just a thought.
