Tilt and Trim: Slow moving and one arm faster than the other?

[WillPhill3]

I just installed a used trim pump for my alpha drive (the outdrive is off). I got all the hydraulic lines bled (i think), refilled the reservoir and hooked them up to the arms (old, but they seem to be in good shape). When I trim up, the motor whines/dies down and the arms move slowly. I thought the reverse lock valve might need adjusting so i moved the shifter back and forth a few times and it fixed it temporarily. Does this mean the reverse lock valve needs adjusted?

Another thing: One arm moves faster than the other, up and down. The fast arm gets fully extended and the slow arm catches up. Do I need to bleed the lines again? I also heard somewhere that you need to fill the arms with fluid when you bleed the lines, but I'm not really sure. I do have a service manual handy so I just need a few pointers. Thanks

Ayuh,.... Welcome Aboard,.... The rams will work together after the drive is on,...
They rarely move perfectly together, unless Connected together,...

Donno 'bout the lock valve,... Try it,...
