Okay here is my take on your unloader problem.
I use to convert a standard unloader to easy start by removing the little spring in the bottom of the unloader. Then the ball fell down in the bottom untill there was enough pressure to suck it up to the seat. It was primative but it worked as long as the unloader was mounted with the large spring up.

Think about it this way.
With an electric start you have this tiny little motor called a starter that doesn't know it isn't a big 16hp motor. You have a positive displacement pump that is 3000 psi. You have to overcome all that pressure plus the compression of the engine. The little starter motor tries to like in the story of the Little Train Engine that was going up the hill. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.n Then it Burns it's self out or the solenoid and that is all she wrote.
Your arm will hurt after you try or the rope will break. So When you pull the gun it relieves the load and the engine starts easy.
