It's supposed to be stiff.
You can test it if you're not sure. Don't ask me how cuz I forgot.
I vaguely remember hooking up a hand pump with a tee fitting (my fuel pressure regulator gauge screwed in on top) to the actuator and slowly pumping. When it starts to move, that's pretty close to where it will release. I was off by about a pound.
If you use an electric pump, it'll take as much air as you give it (i.e. didn't work for me for ----).
