New guy here so go slow. Anyway, replaced my rubber cup with a new one and it's difficult to pump. The trigger and valve is off of the rifle while testing. The rubber cup feels tight while moving the handle up and down. I was wondering if there was a special COATING on the inside of the surface where the cup moves and if so if coating is worn out would this make it hard to pump? It is the correct cup. Should I just LIGHTLY lub the rubber?
