Sounds like you're on the right feature, but I'm not sure it's working: when engaged [yes, down], as LenNH mentioned, you should hear it click at TDC. Once it starts and has enough RPMs it should stop clicking.
If you have someone there to watch, you can pop the cap off and see it too.
Thanks LenNH for putting safety a bit higher priority than I. I need a tatoo on my forehead and signature line on any forum I post to: "Do as I say, not as I do" or perhaps "Following my example could be hazardous to your health." :oops:
