Check that when you are priming it the lever does not go so far that it slips past the poppet and causes it to jam. I have that issue on my ’37, but as long as I do not put it past the “4” marking it does not have issues. Maybe that is just my motors because the other end of the arm that would press down on the cork is broken, but I’m sure it is possible with your motor as well. As PM T2 probably said, you should also make sure that the poppet spring is working well and that nothing is stuck.
