Did you put some air under the skirt? I used a turkey baster.

Well, pretty much. It works on the concept of using an air bubble trapped under the skirt to raise the rev to index.

Look to see if it's stuck down, if it is, the air bubble is the problem. If it's in the up position, it may just be jammed.
