Hi Millzy,

It should be easy enough to crank over using the standard Crank Handle supplied with the machine.

I feel that you may have a stuck valve in the Villiers, thus it's not allowing it to breath as it should.

You should be able to take the plug out and bend a piece of wire at 90 degrees to poke towards the valves and feel if they are opperating as they should. You'll probably require a second operator to perform this accurately.

Cheers,
BB.
