Cowl flaps lever won't stay forward (open)

...prior to engine start.

Battery is on, hydraulic lever pumped 5 times, when I move the cowl flaps lever forward it just springs back to closed.

Thoughts?

Cheers!

Completely, did I miss something?

Edit, must I hold the lever forward until desired setting is achieved, and then release the lever?
