Make sure your top tube is seated in the head good. It would be worthwhile to pull it down and make sure your o-ring is in good shape and seated correctly.

Also check the back of the ring and make sure it isn't catching on the cylinder fins as you depress it. Sometimes the pushrod tube deflect inward just a kittke and the ring hangs up. Hope this helps.
